Well I gotta interview on Monday in London and fancy going down the day before to look at some art at brick lane. Is there any Banksy stencils around there or any decent galleries to go?>

Thanks

There is a very impressive sweet tooth, massive one on a side alley on the left hand side of the road if you are walking up Brick Lane. Head for Truman brewery and dray walk for Stolen Space, in the open air car park by here is the Banksy car and Dface car.

Been ages writing this, guess others will have responded already, another place to look, although they are now absolutely battered is Plumbers row. If you approach from the whitechapel end stay on the left hand side of the road, by the open air car park, just before Atlantis art, there is a rat (partially destroyed) and a cartrain. Also remnants of a swoon.

Not sure if its still there, but on Fashion Street, about 20 yards in from the commercial road side on the right hand side of the road, there was a very cool Judith Supine (I suspect).

Loads and loads round there though, just keep your eyes peeled.

there is a good one just off Hoxton Square. The cleaning lady, 'hoxton xxxx' cant remember the name.

Lovely piece though and in mint condition 6 or so months ago. Only 5 minutes from BL..

Not sure if this is the same Hoxton maid you've mentioned or not but this ones gone

u know something's going wrong when the Daily Mail gets in on the act...

[ohmygosh]

another one bites the dust...

I only remembered this as im using an old phone and when i switched it on after 6 months i had this as my screen saver.

The best one i know of which has probably gone too were the bouncers with the red carpet in Shoreditch, that was classic.

My advice is just wander round, you'll see some good stuff if you keep your eyes peeled..

I had too scrub myself with bleach after posting the link

[pharcyde]

Right have to start making notes then. Are the galleries open on a sunday do you know?

[sterlzuk]

Smiley faced reaper on Scrutton Street - get the A-Z out

[slowmo]

Stolen space should be. Although I have been there many times to find no one there to open the door, its small though, so you can pretty much see a lot by looking in even if it is shut.

Here you go pharcyde you can fill your A-Z from here

No visit to Brick Lane for me is complete without lunch/coffee/smoke at cafe 1001, corner of an alley opposite 93feet east. Love that place, go - you'll see why

Sorry painted over months ago only lasted a week or so.

Have a walk down Paul street and Willow st (Home of POW). You'll find some Eines, Failes, Bast, Jim Cereal an quite a few unknowns.

Also on the corner of Great Eastern Street where it meets Old street, there is a Chinese take away. Above it you'll see a scafold erected with a billboard on it. Look behind and underneatd the billboard and you'll find the largest surviving Banksy...... I won't say what it is, it'll be a nice suprise for you...

Across the road in the carpark there is also a huge rat with a saw and the TV thrown out of the window.

[Grafter]

Waliking to me job interview and spotted my first Banksy I think it was, a Rat, holding a sign saying Banksy in Bishops gate next to threadneedle street.

ooohhh where? do you mean above the foundry? whats the name of the chinese resturant?

[Grafter]

It's on the opposite side of the road to the foundry. The chinese is called the 'Wa Do' (I think).

[Curley]

It would be great to see that uncovered one day.

[carlito]

did Banksy make the changes to the original image he put up there? - just wondered the second version was nowhere near as good...

[John]

saw it this morning!

Lovely!

[slowmo]

What is it?
