It’s been a fine week for street-art in Camden. I saw these new pieces while out for lunch. I wish I could write more, but I’m a little up against it this afternoon, so I’ll just leave them here to your own tender mercies. For more street-art and other strange things, you can follow me…

Le Sacre du printemps
The weather in London may have been particularly rotten this Easter Weekend, but that didn’t stop the city’s street artists from getting some work done. I saw this new mural in Stucley Place this morning. The dramatic wall of colour blocking out the grey-scale illustration is almost a reflection of the always overdue transition from…
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.
Brick Lane Mega-Gallery Pt. 1
Here are the street art pieces we saw on our trip to Brick Lane last weekend. I will say no more and let the work speak for itself.
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…
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…
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.
Is this photograph of the Irish Coast the #Dressgate of 2016?
Last year, it was an argument over the colour of a dress. This year, it’s whether or not the image itself is even real. On 2nd February, Irelands Hidden Gems.com posted this striking photograph of Malin Head in County Donegal by the photographer Michael O’Brien to their Facebook page. Since then, the site’s comments section…
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…
