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…
The week in London Travel (Valentine’s Special)
In addition to the notice board actually featuring practical travel information, the theme this week was love. Somebody at the station, it seems, is somewhat of an old-fashioned romantic. Enjoy.
Blink and you’ll miss it (Gallery)
The street-art scene in Camden Town is developing so rapidly these days that keeping up with the enormous number changes that occur in the area each week has become an almost full-time occupation.

Best of London Travel Notices
Rather than posting one of these per day and completely clogging-up my feed, I have decided to instead publish a weekly round-up of the best travel notices at my local train station. As a little bonus and for good measure, I have added some images from a few years ago when I used to see…
Brightening up the urban experience
These illustrations by 19 year old, Russian born, British Higher School of Art and Design student Moleculahowl have been in place (on the coverings of a row of electricity meters) on Camden Road for at least the last 2 months. Strangely, it doesn’t look as though anyone has posted any pictures of the pieces online…
10,000 Followers
Critical Dispatches gained its 10,000th follower over the weekend, which is rather a remarkable consideration. That I can publish a post in London that can be viewed as far away as Australia, the US, or Argentina still blows my mind. It is an absolute pleasure to be part of a community as diverse, engaging and…
