Last week I visited England (not London though). Usually I plan my trips pretty well and plow through internets to see what's there to see. This time I didn't - it was all planned for me. All but this particular surprise.
I had no idea that Bristol has this graffiti/street art area called Stokes croft. Practically every single building had a huge mural painted to it. Enough with the words and sorry for the picture rich post.
Edit: Thanks to Elpats for spotting the artists!
Artist: Zase. This one was actually quite far from Stokes croft.
Artist: 3dom.
Vernin and Mr. Jago painting away.
These lightbulbs could be seen in many places. Boy & Girl by Fake.
Artist: Dan. Love this one.
Artist: 3dom.
We had our share of pork pies during the trip.
Artist: Sepr & Epok.
This one was commissioned by a bakery.
Artist: Phelgm.
Artist: Leah Heming.
Artist: Motorboy. Some of the pieces were more political. Or stickers in this case.
Artist: Phelgm. Hiroshige revisited.
Artist: Copyright.
Artist: Nick Walker. Quite a few butterflies too in Bristol.

For more street art from Bristol I can suggest visiting my site bristol-street-art.co.uk.
Stokes Croft was amazing, and your pictures do it justice. It was well worth hiking a few miles in the sweltering heat to see all these.
