I think it is safe to say that East London is brimming with cutting edge street art, all you have to do is look around:

These shots were taken on Bethnal Green Road, here is another wall piece from the same street!

Check out this ‘graffiti’ we spotted on Portobello Rd! Forget stencils, Urban Art has officially passed into the realm of Fine Art according to this wall piece!

b-shots: mapping out cool things in London and beyond

// October 29th, 2009 // Comments // b-shots

Ever strolled down the street, snapped a cool graffiti or a space invader of some sort and forgot where the picture was taken? We’re thrilled to introduce our very own map of ‘interestingness’ where we’ll be mapping out things that are worth checking out around London and beyond.

Our first addition to the map is the Samuel Beckett graffiti in Notting Hill by artist Alex Martinez, painted in 2006 to commemorate the centenary of Beckett’s birth in Dublin on 13 April 1906. These are last shots of a Portobello icon, now covered over for the last time. No more.

While Notting Hill squats are littered with yummy bankers and fashionistas the street yearns the return of the real. The art.
