These were all taken in London's East End in the Brick Lane area. Many are done from artists from all over the world, many of renown. Sorry, I can't remember most of the names, I was too busy taking photographs. I know that many cities in the world have great examples so please contribute.

Probably one of the best known artists: Banksy

Believe me, many of them are recognised. It's just that I couldn't handle a camera and a pen and paper at the same time to write down all the information. Brick Lane on a Sunday is a seething mass of people and it was difficult enough getting a clear shot without people obscuring some of the works. Glad that you like them.

Thanks Geoff, very good, they're a bit Jack Vettriano like. Where were they taken?

GWR100 Loc: England

Swanage in Dorset, about 4 years ago .... Re Jack Vettriano, he has a massive exhibition at the Kelvin Grove Gallery in Glasgow, until February, so we hope to go up sometime.

Thank you very much for posting these. You captured them very well. I don't often get to see them, though recently there was an online article about some of Banksy's recent work that I much enjoyed.

Thanks HT. You probably heard about the Banksy that was stolen in Harringey and eventually sold in Miami for what I think was £400,000. It was this first one, a criticisms about the import of ultra cheap clothing and the employment of child labour in sweat shops. It was replaced by the second one that unfortunately defaced shortly after.

I suppose someone considered this art of a sort; joke is more likely I think. Took this shot in Naples a few years back during one of their garbage strikes there.
