SHOREDITCH

Following on from Camden my daughter wanted to check out the vintage shops in Shoreditch and I wanted to check out the Street art over in Brick Lane and the surrounding area. The rain at times was torrential, which was a real shame but this still didn't deter me from snapping away.

Brick Lane was certainly a hotbed for street artists of differing standards. Lots of sticker art as well,  probably one of the most annoying aspects of street art is that even if you're great you probably do not expect it to last forever so its reassuring many people like to photograph and document it, but as the pictures below shows even street art is subject to vandalism. Vandalism being vandalised some people who do not appreciate the talent of these guys might say.

Not just about the graffiti and Street art........."Blitz"... one of the many vintage shops to be found in the area and of which my daughters were lost in paradise.

I have to mention these guys below CABOOSE. Oh my god their food is just amazing. If you're in the area then this is a must. You will find them at: The Old Trueman Brewery, Ely's Yard, Brick Lane, London, E1 6QR. Freshly prepared in front of you, cooked to order, the only problem is your mouth watering as you watch and wait....go for a walk for 10mins. Street food at it's best.

FURIA

I hope you have enjoyed this brief look at some of the Street Art in and around Brick Lane. If you know some of the artists please leave a comment.
