Your cycle in front of a wall pics

Ah, yes, I was just wondering where that big Camberwell Beauty was, it's on a bridge over the old canal route, isn't it?

I don't know if its an old canal route but its directly above the cycling and pedestrian underpass in Burgess Park that goes under Wells Way, here:

I'm in Barnsley today where I grew up so I thought I'd go to Penistone and see the Tour de Yorkshire route.

I came across loads of cool walls in east London this afternoon.

Thanks, not sure I'd be confident at leading a ride around central London, they are quite spread out, it could turn into quite an epic.... and knowing London lots will be repainted over before you can get back round to them. There are a few spots in Brixton, Walthamstow, Acton and Camden where the Council's seem to allow it though.

I'm currently spending a large chunk of my spare time trekking around London photographing Champion Trees, and I was thinking about maybe drawing up a series of spring/summer/autumn/winter, short/medium and long rides that visit some of London's best ones, when they are looking their most splendid....but I don't really know anything about trees, so there's a fair bit of work and learning required on my part to find them, and to learn what times of year certain trees look their best, so more likely next year before I get them finalised.

As part of that I've just started tracking down all of graffiti artist ATM's bird drawings across London, I've already done his Barn Owl in Acton and the Chaffinch in Loughborough Junction previously in this thread, so who knows maybe I'll get round to drawing up a list of all the locations I've visited so far if people are interested. I usually GPS my rides so even if I have'nt previously listed exactly where each one is I could look back and find them.

Ah cool, I knew about the Leinster Terrace one. I don't think this is a cover for an exciting subterranean world or anything, more like an old building being demolished to make space for a new one, and maybe as part of the planning they have to retain some original frontage? I'm just totally guessing there though, maybe that will be gone by tomorrow. I was just cycling past, and thought 'ooh an interesting cycle in front of wall opportunity'

I used to lead a Brixton/Stockwell murals ride. Last one was April 2012. Hmmm, may be time for another run.

Its official, I've been going crazy chasing walls this week.

I should post my ride from yesterday in here as it was full of good walls, to many to fit into one post.

Today I found some absolute crackers too, some of the best I've seen. I knew there was lots of art works around the Chalk Farm Estate, but some of it is behind secure, residents only access gates, so I thought I'd investigate this afternoon to see what I could find. Definitely worth the trip. Continuing yesterdays theme, another bird...OK so its more of a door than a wall, but a door is just a wall with hinges

Mr Potatohead tries space travel

I love this

OK I've found the beer....but its being guarded by a big scary lion

Hidden away in the shadows I almost missed this, wow!

My next trip was over to glamorous Penge. On the way there was a Amy Winehouse wall in Camden, I was'nt sure if this has been posted already or if its just by the same person who did the one @RedRider posted in Brixton recently, it looks like it.

Penge had some hidden treasure, a real surprise. Top quality stuff around Maple Rd and Southey St

This one of a boy peeing in the corner, even has its own 'PPTV' camera prop accompanying it, brilliant!

....but my favourites of the week were definitely these two, Maple Rd and Southey St, Penge. Artists I salute you!
