On Saturday I went on a walking tour of Camden to see some of the street art there. I went with Camden Street Art Tours. Meeting outside Camden Town tube station at 11 am next to the public call boxes on the High Street.

I have sorted the images into groups in this blog rather than present them in chronological order – to see them in in that order along with the other images then please book the tour!

I couldn’t resist this shot as we walked past Getty Images on the tour

Street Art installations

And here’s my favourite by Camden Lock

Look closely and you’ll see the grenade that the octopus is holding.

Around Camden Lock

As well as the installation above we looked at this door

Not street art but here are some more pictures around Camden Lock

Street Art where the banks are

We learnt that the old advertising painted on the sides of buildings was protected. This piece of street art maybe over part of an old advertising but the bank building has covered up part of the ad years ago.

John Lennon at the side of the Oxford Arms

Some street art becomes famous and her’s is one such piece at the side of the Oxford Arms. Right now it has tags added but the artist does come back sponsored by the pub to touch it up.
