Street Art in London
2 December, 2020

It seems like everywhere you turn in London, there’s a street art piece begging to be admired and photographed. From the walls of department stores, underneath bridges and on shop shutters, London’s street art scene is vast.

London is one of the world’s best places to see street art. Street artists come from far and wide in order to paint its walls. The East end of London, in particular, has a renowned reputation. 

I had the wonderful opportunity to spend time in London in October 2019, visiting specifically chosen sites in Brick Lane, Shoreditch and the Leake Street tunnel. The latter is a 300 metre designated graffiti tunnel in the Old Vic tunnels underneath Waterloo station which is a legal graffiti spot. Most days you are bound to spot young artists learning their trade or more established artists looking for a quick place to paint.

Inspired by all the street art photographed in London, I have designed a collage, of only London graffiti.

It comes in two variations – with a white background called “GRF LDN WH” and with a black background called “GRF LDN BL”

After 18 years in the IT industry, Doreen decided to surround herself on a daily basis by photography that she loves which led to the establishment of The Cow Artworks in 2004. In March 2006 she opened the gallery in Parkhurst and has thrived in this beautiful space. Her passion for travel affords her the opportunity to take photographs, particularly candid shots of street scenes, graffiti and architecture.
