When I first started photographing the street art around London two years ago, I had no idea that I would amass such a huge collection of pictures and artifacts – If I was one for overblown hyperbole, I’d almost describe it as pantagruelian (but I’m not, so I won’t). I have nearly used three quarters…

The best way to predict the future
I was only working for three days this week, so – once more – I have very little to show for myself. Anyway, here are the travel notices that I saw this week. You can now follow my adventures on Instagram here.

Here’s part 2 of our travels on Sunday. You can now follow my adventures on Instagram here.
London Street Art Ultra Gallery Pt. 1
As all my blasted luck would have it; while we were holidaying in Greece, I noticed a dull pain developing behind my right eye as well as a slight blur in vision. To cut a long story short, and after a visit to Moorfields Eye Hospital as soon as we got back to Blighty, I am currently…
No one is busy in this world
I didn’t post anything last week as I was in Greece for their Orthodox Church’s Easter celebrations – of which I will write about soon. I took around 1,000 photographs and am currently weeding my way through the best of them. Until then, here are the travel notices from Camden Road station this week. You…
Do what you can
Herself is in Greece, so I’m home alone for the next week until I join her over there for Greek Easter. I’ll have to find something to keep myself occupied for the weekend, though I fear my efforts may amount to little more that sitting on the couch and watching Sergei Bondarchuk’s incredible 8 hour…
Hope and fear
Here are the travel notices for this particularly sodden April week in London. Enjoy the weekend.
A Kind of Compulsion
When I started photographing the street-art around London (particularly in Camden Town) I had no idea that I would be so busy at it. It’s a labour of love and I’m frequently impressed by the level of creativity shown by the artists. These new pieces by Autone1, Reb.MWC, DRT and Trust Icon have appeared almost…
Just checking in on you
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…
Saint Patrick’s Day Parade London 2016
On Sunday morning, thousands of revelers gathered in Central London to celebrate the annual Saint Patrick’s Day festival and parade. Patrick may be the patron saint of Ireland, but it’s not so well known that the man mythology claims to have driven the snakes from Irish shores was actually born in Britain. In light of…
Amazingly Creative Street Musician
The lady and I were in Notting Hill today when we spotted this highly creative street musician performing on the side of the road. If the video isn’t clear enough, he’s playing on a tennis racket, an old typewriter and a cutlery set – Yes, you read that correctly. The song, “Hit the road Jack,” was written and first recorded…
This Week in Travel Notices
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).
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.
