Today I walked through Brick Lane and the adjoining streets, had a bagel (1,50 Pounds) and a wonderful apple strudel (50p) and took some photos of graffitis. I even saw a man who was just finishing his work and then quickly disappeared.
Graffitis are quite common here in London, especially in certain areas like the Eastend. The photographer of this couple even used them for a pre-wedding photo shoot.
I'm a big fan of Banksy since I've seen some of his works in his home town Bristol and a huge exhibition in Bristol Museum. This picture shows that some house owners value a graffiti of Banksy very highly, some, like the one of this house, even cover the work with acrylic glas to protect it. But graffitis follow their own rules. The pictures often don't last long. An graffiti artist who calles himself Robbo often adds his comments to Banksy's work. And here another "artist" just sprayed his tag onto the acrylic glas.
