The newest street art and the latest street artists in London presented by Street Art London.
Pablo Delgado’s street art assault on the streets of East London continues (check our first post on Pablo here). A multitude of miniature street scenes can be found all over Shoredicth, Hoxton and the Brick Lane area. Giraffes, hippos, butlers, trampolines, drunks… they are all here and there are lots more! How many have you seen?
Here are some of Street Art London’s favourites:
Banky’s latest piece in London references the notorious London graffiti artist/tagger Tox who was recently found guilty of seven counts of criminal damage and convicted at Blackfriars crown court in Central London. Tox has been in custody since his arrest over five months ago and is likely to face further jail time when sentenced on 1 July.
We haven’t done one of these for a while so here’s a little run down of some great street art around on the streets of London at the moment!

Today, we were lucky enough to spend some time with David Walker while he painted a fantastic new street piece on one of the Cordy House shutters on Curtain Road. While painting, David told us that he has some big plans for more street pieces this year so be sure to watch this space! For more about David, you might want to check out the great interview with him that we featured on Street Art London earlier this year. Please check out our photos below:
Phlegm has just put up a great new piece in Hackney Wick near the Olympic Stadium, check out our photos below. Phlegm is a street artist from Sheffield originally known for his self published comics. His street art is strongly influenced by the dip pen and etching techniques found in his comics.
Phlegm’s stronghold is Sheffield and lots of his work may be seen across the Steel City, especially in old, abandoned factories and warehouses. However, Phlegm is going to be travelling around the country more and more this year so hopefully we will get to see some more of his work in London. Earlier this year he did a great collaboration with Roa down in Peckham – check it out here.
Here’s a little round-up of some new, newish (and older!) street art from around London right now. We’ve kicked things off with two pieces from Mobstr that can be found around Brick Lane. Mobstr is well known for his humourous turn of phrase as anyone from Newcastle will testify!
Élböw Töe, real name Brian Douglas, was in town last week in connection with his gallery show entitled Due Date over at Black Rat Projects. Élböw Töe is a Brooklyn based street artist and has been putting up street art since 2004. He has become renowned for his incredibly detailed paste-ups and his idiosyncratic quotes. It’s not the first time he has visited London and some of his older pieces are still around on the streets. While he was here this time, he treated us to some great street pieces around Hackney, take a look at Street Art London’s images below:
Today, Londoners woke up to a garden of Michael De Feo’s flowers. Michael De Feo is a street artist from New York and has been visting cities all around the world with his iconic flowers since 1993. London is now lucky enough to have some of his street art too! For the full story behind Micheal De Feo’s street art check out the interview that we did with him recently. Street Art London went out hunting for his flowers this morning, check out our images below and do get in touch if you have seen any of these around town on your way to work today!
Bortusk Leer is once again at large around the streets of London again and his neon monsters have been appearing everywhere. It seems like his alter ego ‘Rots Rulebek’ has also been getting around London with a peculiar line of cosmetics consisting of “Eau de Toilet”, “Jizzy Palm” and “Pork Sword Shaving Foam”. Check out some of his monsters below. Check out the monsters and cosmetics below:
