It’s Friday, which means it’s time for the weekly round-up of the travel notices that the staff at the Camden Road railway station. I hope that they give you something to think about over the weekend (for better or worse).

Best of London Pavement Signs
John Cleese once said that his Three Laws of Comedy were 1. No puns, 2. No puns, and 3. No puns. This nugget of wisdom, however, has not been adopted by the shop owners of the Greater London area. Their signs almost invariably contain a pun in some form or other and I don’t see…
This week in travel notices
Here are the travel notices I spotted on my way to work this week. I hope that they add some colour to your weekend.
Brick Lane Mega-Gallery Pt. 2
Here are the street art pieces we saw on our trip to Brick Lane last weekend. I will say nothing more and let the work speak for itself… again.

Making good use of a lemon
I broke my spectacles yesterday evening (which was bad). Luckily there is an optician near my work (which is good). I took the glasses to get fixed and was told I’d have to wait an hour for the repair (which was bad). I decided to go for a walk to kill the time and was…
Smurk
This mural by Smurk appeared near Mornington Crescent tube station over the weekend. The work replaces the piece by Deesaster that I snapped a few weeks back. I have around 60-70 photos from my recent visit to Brick Lane that I hope to get posting over the next few days, so watch this space (pun…
A work in progress
We went to Brick Lane at the weekend and despite the chilling wind, we had a fine day. We happened upon on Werdna and Mr Christa at work and got to chatting with them while they finished up. I asked Wernda if all that paint is doing any harm to his lungs. Probably, he told…
This week in travel notices
Some regular visitors may recall that the workers at my local train station left a small conundrum on the travel notice board for commuters to try and solve last weekend. Unfortunately, they forgot to answer their own riddle and no solution was ever provided. However, after a small Google search I found that the answer…
Ask and you just might receive
I’ve photographed and posted quite a few pieces by Moleculahowl, so I thought that I might reach out to her and see if she might be willing to send me a piece of original artwork. I contacted her through Instagram and sure enough I just received this unique piece from her in the post this…
While The City Sleeps
This mural by Candie Bandita has just appeared in Stucley Place, Camden. The mural replaces the previous work that I posted a few months back. I’ll be heading to Shoreditch at the weekend to see some of the new work that has been put up since my last visit there. I can’t wait to show…
A Very Quick Story
I’ll tell you a quick story while you’re here and I have the time to spare. I have a good friend who worked as a barman for the years he was seeing his way through his tertiary educational commitments. No-one who knows an honest day of work would ever challenge you in saying that tending…
I Remember the Future
I’m reluctant to say that we’re seeing a golden age of street -art in Camden Town, but there is certainly a great amount of spectacular work appearing here on almost a daily basis. This afternoon I spotted an excellent work from Gonzo design cowboy ensemble, Id-iom,as well as a fantastic collaborative work from Itaewon, Autone,…
Constantly redecorating the city’s walls
Only last week, I posted about the unprecedented rate that new art-works are appearing around Camden Town. Sure enough, I went for a short walk around town this afternoon and quickly spotted a few new pieces. It is almost beyond question at this point that if you’re a street-artist wanting to get yourself noticed around…
What will happen?
The bods at Camden Road Station are getting creative and have left a small conundrum for us to think about over the weekend. Share your thoughts in the comments and I will pass on the wittiest/best answer to the guy at the station on Monday morning. I will also, of course, post the answer to…
