London Trip - Thanks + Pictures, by Harveyn on Nov 27, 2007 21:57:04 GMT 1, Just a quick thanks to all who helped both myself and my wife in having a fantastic weekend in London.

Unfortunately I managed to miss the Matt Small exhibition at TLSG as we did not arrive until after 3:00 pm on Saturday and that also put an end to any change of us making our way to the RCA Secret later that evening.

A big thanks to Pez for all his help on the RCA Secret details and whilst we did not make it I really enjoyed the countless hours selecting and reviewing the pieces. I will definitely make a point of traveling over for next years event.

A big thanks to Nick at BRP for helping me get one of these babies which I safely hand carried back to Ireland on the plane and which is now safely hanging in my hall.

A big thanks to Phil for all his help and recommendations. Seriously good advice. The Crown Plaza at Shoreditch was great and the Eat & Two Veg restaurant in Marylebone on Saturday night was absolutely perfect.

The Tate Modern was wonderful and the Turkish restaurant on James Street on Sunday night was filled with atmosphere.

We really enjoyed walking around Brick Lane on Saturday morning and breakfast at the "Coffee @ Coswell Rd" was an amazing experience (50 year old Goths still tripping from the previous night and old geezers sitting in the corner pushing Diamonds). The girl with shocking pink hair serving behind the counter could not have been friendlier.

The flower market at Columbia Rd was just what the doctor ordered for my wife after dragging her round back the back streets of Shoreditch to find whatever graffiti I could.

Took some snaps and I know most if not all have been posted at some time but what the hell.

Started with the Banksy painter with cock and went from there... some great work about near BRP and Forster, the massive XENZ and the Eric the Dog / Blu spring to mind... one thing though...

What the hell is going on with all the toasters?

Slight thread hijack here but I will be down in London next weekend and wondered if anyone can give me some details of where I can check out some Banksy's in the flesh.

I'm almost ashamed to say I have never seen an original so would love to check some out on one of my rare trips down south .

Just be careful how visible a Union Jack may be to people passing by your window in Ireland! Still as flames can also be seen at an angle, perhaps you'll be able to please viewers from all backgrounds in your living room

Pure Evil show is well worth a vist, not a lot to see on the walls but what is there is impressive. Oh. also a lot of prints/sprays to buy
