London Banksy CYW and VLH still visible?, by mikehaspey on Feb 20, 2014 15:00:56 GMT 1, Hi all
Just wanted to check with you guys that are in the know whether Banksys CYW at The Grange and VLH on Essex Road are still to be seen?
Planning ahead for a trip, drives the mrs wild hunting down street pieces so I don't want to risk heading out to them and not even seeing anything 
Cheers

You can still see the child on the right, the one on the left and the flagpole are pretty much destroyed. There's perspex over it. If you know what you're looking at it may be worth the visit!

If there's some of it still visible and recognisable then I will make the effort to go and check it out

Lots of good art just around it, walk west (away from essex road station) and look behind you as you walk on the street corners and you'll see a few nice pieces.

London Banksy CYW and VLH still visible?, by mikehaspey on Mar 8, 2014 12:42:44 GMT 1, If graffiti changed anything is there
The ATM machine is just about visible with two thick lines painted through it
Various rats dotted around
Tag from his crow / CCTV camera piece on Tottenham Court Road is still on the CCTV pole - that's in the book Cut it out
Head to Cargo (bar) in Shoreditch, out the back they have the guard piece and HMV which are mint
The painter on Portebello Road
Can't think of any more! There's still plenty about though, if you have a smartphone download Banksy London Tour, BanksyApp and global street art - street art London

The toxic rat on the stairs at St Bride's church just off Fleet Street has been cut out. Not sure when it went but I hope it broke into bits when they did it. Used to like popping down the alley to see that.

Is 'shop till you drop' in Mayfair still intactโฆ? It was last week. Bit of a tricky one for the looters to chop out that. i am sure some one eye will try at some point. |

Wa Do has closed down too!

London Banksy CYW and VLH still visible?, by Emile on Mar 14, 2014 12:27:21 GMT 1, Im in London currently and so far Ive seen
Skeleton Car near Brick Lane (without skeleton)
Designated Graffiti Area (cop with dog) & HMV at Cargo
Happy Chopper on Old Street (which I think is actually pretty visible actually - from the bow up isn't visible and it has a few tags on it)
Placard rat near Kings Cross
(Gas mask girl on Brick Lane which is pretty much gone - just a few faded lines remaining)
I love the area around Brick Lane. So much street art - ROA, Stik, Invaders, Fairey etc
Im also actually pleasantly surprised with the amount of Banksy work still visible I have to say! Will visit more tomorrow and report back!
