Street Art on Film // Volume 2.0

This volume of street art on film is dedicated to the graffiti haven that is Hackney Wick, East London. It’s one of the best spots in London for the urban art scene and is just a stone’s throw away from The Olympic Park and Stratford.

Hipsters flock the streets for the cool bars and cafes (which sets the tone for the area) and on a hot spring day it’s a great spot for a couple of tinnies by the canal.

I took to the streets armed with my Pentax ME Super and Fujicolour 400 film. There was a bit of a party vibe in the air as the lockdown restrictions in the UK have recently been lifted and after a year of being stuck at home in isolation, people were allowed back out into the world to see their family and pals… or in other words, go back out and get pissed with people again.

Here’s some of the best pieces spotted in the Hackney Wick ends:
