BANKSY ART AND GRAFFITIS (day 7 london)



Banksy is a graffiti artist in the early 90s, born in bristol. Ive heard the art of banksy through my cousin. I google his art piece, and he really influence me. Through google, ive known that banksy have some art all around london, i decide to try to hunt it down. But i only managed to hunt 3 down.

Basically the location of banksy srt, the one in blue pins are still available.



1) FALLING SHOPPER 
located above street level at bruton lane, london. I walk to the location from oxford circus tube (central line)

2) IF GRAFFITI CHANGED ANYTHING
located by the garage at clipstone street, near the BT tower. The nearest tube will be WARREN  STREET (northen line).


3) BANKSY GUARD DOG & HIS MASTER VOICE
located behind perspex in the beer garden of cargo, rivington street. This is quite tricky, as long you found cargo at rivington st, you will find this place. Nearest station - shoreditch high street (overground london).



While i was back in shoreditch high street finding the 3rd piece, i come accross some really nic3 graffitis. 













I saw a short 15 sec instagram video uploaded by bgirl eri, it was the graffiti tunnel in london. Is so fresh that ill check in out when im back to london.

Day 3: Shoreditch high street graffitis

Day 3, i went to shoreditch to check out some graffitis. You can get there by tube - liverpool street (zone 1) and walk  from the tube, around 15 min or you can just get the overground and alight at shoreditch high street.

Graffitis are mostly everywhere in storeditch, i spent about 2 hours there as i really love graffitis. Ill just be sharing you the photos i took. Let my photos do the story :)




























Peace :)

Day2- London : Camden town & bboy session spot

London tube map


Havent really done much in tourist area today, was sick so i slept till 12 PM.
Ate burrito for lunch with my cousin and went out to check out Camden Town.

It is located at CAMDEN TOWN tube (northen line - black color), follow the signboard that lead you to camden market exit, you will find your way.

London underground is very easy to access and it is very straightforward, but make sure you see the correct platform for the tube you are going to to avoid walking to the wrong directions. Keep in mind that walking from one tube to another, is really a long way. No joke.

Camden market has a lot of good stuffs. It is worth for a walk.

Getting some hot chocolate in a cold breezing weather is just dope.

After camden town, i took the tube all the way to Startford to check out the second bboy spot for session. It is located inside the mall.

How bboys and bgirls here in london train really impressed me a lot. The two spot i went is CHARING CROSS and STRARTFORD. There is one more spot where i had not check out - SOUTH BANK (walking distance from waterloo station).
