This doesnt initially look much but its a touch of genius by a local who was allegedly sick of this Pizza Takeaway constantly putting leaflets through his letterbox.

The Greenway is a raised path on top of the northern outfall sewer that runs from Stratford to Beckton sewage works.Built in Victorian times, designed by a man called Bazalgette whose great grandson devised TV's BIG BROTHER. Fact!!

Near Waterloo station there is a disused tunnel once used by taxis to pick up passengers from the now defunct Channel Tunnel terminal. The Cans Festival (a play on the annual cinema fest in the French town of Cannes), dedicated the old tunnel to an exhibition of street art, Banksy the graffiti artist, invited other artists to join him for a stencil party. Thousands of people brought their own stencils with them.

Banksy is a well-known pseudo-anonymous English graffiti artist. He is believed to be a native of Bristol but there is substantial public uncertainty about his identity and personal and biographical details. His artworks are often satirical pieces of art on topics such as politics, culture, and ethics. His street art, which combines graffiti writing with a distinctive stencilling technique, is similar to Blek le Rat, who began to work with stencils in 1981 in Paris and members of the anarcho-punk band Crass who maintained a graffiti stencil campaign on the London Tube System in the late 1970s/early 1980s.
