…walking through the back alleys
Last week Kevin and I drove to Guelph and after parking away from the main street we looked for a short cut to get back to the stores we wanted to explore. We ended up walking through back alleyways and parking lots and discovered a wonderful display of street art.
…on our way to see where our son, Brendan, works
Our son works at the V&A in London but he recently was given the job of overseeing the construction of the new warehouse and facility in East London. We weren’t allowed inside but we did see the outside and we passed numerous works of street art and the London Olympic site.
After lunch we made our way to the new facility but it was very hot that day and I slowly followed our tour guide. I was happy to get into air-conditioned buildings along the way.

Brick Lane is a famous street in the East End of London. If you’re a fan of graffiti and street art, then you’re in the right place – Brick Lane is famous for it. It has a large population of Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi immigrants and if you’re after a good curry this is the neighbourhood to travel to.

Sometimes the best art is on walls and often in obscure places. Today’s mural was found facing the parking lot between Bloor St. and Prince Arthur Ave. I almost missed it because I wasn’t looking up and to the left. We were headed back to the car and I was focused on the mission to find the car. One of my friends brought my attention.

Walking towards the subway station in my daughter’s neighbourhood of the Junction Triangle I came across the following street art:
