Another update, some of those pictures had been taken two weeks ago. I’ve got more recent ones, which I will post them soon. Sorry for not being here often enough as I would wish to, just not enough time during a day. That’s why my recent street art walks are happening at night. Finally a week off and time to catch up and have a bit of rest from the stressful weeks.
This was a quick Sunday walk, just around Brick Lane, enjoy.
Finally I had a chance to see the abandoned building in Bromley by Bow. It’s not really really abandoned as someone squats there, however it’s definitely not safe due to plenty of rubbish, holes and every floor looks like it’s about to collapse. The street art pieces there are amazing and it will be a big sadness when the building will be destroyed completely!
I had a good walk yesterday. The weather wasn’t perfect and I caught a cold in the silly rain, but it was worth it as I found lots of new street artists, plenty of dscreet and some really nice pieces such as from Jim Vision, Borondo, Thieu and many more!
The latest exhibition in Howard Griffin Gallery, which is now only for few more days is Retrospective by Thierry Noir. He is well known for being the first to paint the Berlin Wall and creating brightly coloured artwork, which was forbidden at that time. Thierry Noir work brings smile and actually this is his first solo exhibition. Very often he also wears a bright yellow coat himself.
Next time.. Pablo Delgado!
Howard Griffin Gallery in East London hosts great street art exhibitions. In February and March it was Phlegm’s amazing installation, The Bestiary. Phlegm’s style is very unique, when creating the half real and half imagined animals and beasts. I wonder what happened to all those 3D pieces made of wood, clay and plaster. It was fantastic and I visited few times myself. It was great to see some other street artist hidden in Phlegm’s work.
Some old, some new, another great collection. How not to love East London 🙂
Time for a quick update. I haven’t been here for a while, but I have been really busy.
I passed an interview for a teaching training start in September! I’m sooooooo happy and finally after all that stress I was able for a nice street art stroll.
I have some few posts for you, so watch this space.
and since having my own cat, I see cats everywhere 🙂 Yesterday I had one following me, which was quite funny..
Last Saturday I went on the Hype walk! Hype is a great app, which tells you what is going on right now in Shoreditch. I love the reminders on my phone as recently Hype is adding some live Street Art, what is a great if I’m at work I can always check it out later when I’m finished. Hype is all about local events from art to music, food, parties and many more. Hype tour was organised to show people local art and tea/coffee places and to meet up some new people on the tour. So if you don’t have anyone to go on this tour, don’t worry it’s a great place to talk to people. It is a 4 hour tour!!! Definitely worth the money and I recommend to anyone! So check it out for yourself: Hype App 
Our lovely tour guides!
Milk Tea and Pearl Our first stop was in Box Park to try some bubble tea. It is a Taiwanese tea with choice of natural flavours. Toppings are great as you can actually eat them and they taste great, such as Tapioca, Lychee Jelly or Strawberry Pobbles. My tea was cold, great refreshment! More info: Milk Tea and Pearl
Tom Lewis Tom Lewis displays his artwork in one of the units in Box Park. In his work you can find strong elements of Manga. Fantastic display of paintings, prints, posters and sculptures. More info: Tom Lewis
Phlegm in the Howard Griffin Gallery – more details soon 
Maiden If you are looking for an original gift for someone, that’s a place to stop. I couldn’t resist and bought some light switch stickers, do I need them? No, but they are so fun. More info: Maiden Shop
Jones Family At this stop we learned about coffee, what’s a difference between robusta vs arabica. I drink coffee every day and actually it was quite interesting to learn some more and to taste for myself the robusta coffee, which is less acidic, but with a greater caffeine punch! On top of the coffee of our choice we had an amazing strawberry cake! yummy!! More info: Jones Family Project
Pure Evil Gallery and Department Store – more details soon

Cult Mountain Our last stop! I have to say that I passed that place couple of times and I never went inside. After visiting now, I’m definitely will stop there more often!
