I’ve not taken a street art tour for a couple of years, what with Covid and, well, Covid. And with all that’s happened I thought it was about time. They weather was lovely so I joined a group near Spitalfields market. There’s this goat statue alongside other commissioned pieces.



Nice enough but not when we were there for something different.




The thing about Street art is the variety.

























There are graffito painters, stencillers and pasters. There are repetitors who have one image they repeat endlessly. Or the thematics who take one picture and adapt it.




















There’s humour and politics, human interest and cats. There are tiny pieces, sculptures and grand conceits. There are commissioned pieces, artists who use street art to promote a commercial show and the illegals. There’s even broccoli…






























It’s a marvellous way to spend a sunny morning in the back alleys of East London.
Brilliant Geoff. Thank you so much for sharing these. I hope HM enjoyed her go on the space hopper!

Wow! These were great, Geoff and much appreciated. I particularly loved the one of Her Majesty on the space hopper. You never know what these public figures get up to in private. Well, sometimes, we do find out such as Boris and his party.
Hope you’re keeping well.
Best wishes,
Ro

I am in agreement with previous comments, brilliant selection of street art. Best of all, was the humour as I needed to laugh right about then. Cheers 🙂

Reasonably stable though he will need another mini transplant procedure to top up his T Cells as they aren’t producing enough cells for this stage of his recovery. Not sure when that will occur. Thanks for asking.
