Okay, not actually on Brick Lane, but near it.

When I was wandering towards the Concrete Hermit gallery a couple of months ago (I’m just writing up my HYA posts about the gallery, which is why I was reminded to look at this picture) I walked past a lot of bad graffiti, and I walked past a lot of good graffiti too. I really like the way that the gold paint on this shines, there’s something really cool about vibrant colours like this, I know that a lot of people complain about graffiti, but when it looks like this surely its better than some crumbling bricks in a part of London that has been neglected for far too long?
