BANKSY hunting

I will elaborrate on this further in the near future, but this is a good way of spending a day.
Put a pound (well, maybe 2 or 3) on your oyster card, and jump on the central line.

Banksy's art is actually protected, meaning that councils won't paint over the 'grafitti', so as long as people stop chipping his works off the actual walls themselves , the Banksy's should be everywhere still.

So far on multiple trips, and almost by accident, I have found 5... consisting mainly of the numerous Rat stencils which Banksy painted for years. But in Marble Arch is where we found the well known "what are you looking at?" which is quite funny, and impressive.


It is in the subway thing where you walk under in order to get to Hyde Park.

I was proud of this find!

Other locations where I found some are , in alphabetical order : Smithfield and Whitechapel (on the wall next to Atlantis Art Shop).

If anyone has found, and knows the whereabouts of any of my favourites, tell!
(this is one)




Or if anyone happened to visit Palestine, and in particular the segregation wall, bordering Israel you may have seen this which are pretty damn amazing don't you think?
Note : the barbed wire




Anyone? Anyone? no? ohhhhhh...... : ]
