Hidden Gems in the Core



Some of London's most interesting graffiti can be found in the alleys inside the block  of Richmond/King/Clarence/York Streets.


Not only is it far more attractive than the plain old tagging you often find elsewhere, some of it shows actual London pride. 


Can't says I've seen another graffiti artist quote John Graves Simcoe, for example. 






Most of the graffiti on that block has a Christian theme to it. Here's Moses coming down from Mount Sinai with the 10 Commandments, for example. 


There are also elaborate tags of the name Jesus and specific passages from the Bible. 


The artist included a website in a couple of spots  for an international group calling themselves Gospel Graffiti, apparently affiliated with Billy Graham's ministry.
