  One of the things I liked the most about London was all the street art.  There was always something cool on the walls and sometimes you'd come across a Bansky or a Space Invader.  Even the Tate Modern had an installation about street art and they had books mapping out where you can see some famous pieces.  Dope!
  
  
  
  
  The first Banksy piece we saw in town was this huge "One Nation Under CCTV."  It was right down the street from the PRS Foundation office. 
  
  
  
  This one we found on a wall at the end of Portobello Market.  I heard that someone bought one of his wall pieces for over $200,000 US dollars and they had to figure out how to move the wall with out damaging the art.  Craziness!
  
  
  
  These two were taken at Banksy's hometown Bristol which was about an hour from Bath. 
  
  
  
  This one was taken on Leake street.  It's also on the cover of his book "Wall and Piece."
  
  
  
  There was also a bunch of space invaders around!  When we were in Paris I tried to look for some but didn't find any. 
  
  
  
  This was my first time seeing a Blek Le Rat piece in person!  He just had a exhibition at
  Subliminal Projects in LA which would have been cool to check out. 
  
  
  
  
  There's this really cool tunnel that has a ton (literally a ton) of stuff along the walls that is worth checking out if you're in town.  It's on Leake Street under Waterloo Station....insane amount of things to look at.
  
  
  
  Slam City Skates had the outside of their shop done by Phil Frost!
  
  
  
  A giant D-Face piece crushing a car in Brick Lane!
  
  
  
  There was also a big Obey Giant piece across the street.
  
  
  
  Speaking of Obey, I finally got the "Supply and Demand"  book I ordered 2 years ago from their site (that got shipped to my aunt's house by mistake).  Thanks Uncle Ted!
