Amidst this week of glorious and even overbearing heat and sunshine in the UK and London we here at London Calling decided the best course of action was to pack up for the day and head to the coast, taking us to the delightful setting of Brighton. There we were not only presented by the sun and sea, we were also delighted to get the chance to take in some of the Street Art and Graffiti in the area, of which there was plenty to be seen. While London is certainly the primary focus of this blog, we enjoyed ourselves so much we thought we would share our finds from the day with you. We would like to say thanks to the few people who gave us advise on the best spots to hit, you know who you are and thanks immensely, also thanks to Aroe MSK for helping name a few of the artists we were unsure of. Without further ado here is the Street Art and Graffiti we found on our visit.
Upon exiting Brighton Station and heading left into the North Laine area this is the first piece of Street Art you will be confronted by, a huge and most impressive mural to deceased individuals from music history on the side of The Prince Albert Pub and by REQ & Sinna 1, a work worthy of the space devoted to it.
Recreation of the once iconic work in Brighton by Banksy, which was removed and sold for £1 million, also on The Prince Albert pub premises.
Work by SNUB23 to be found on the corner of Trafalgar Lane, a prime location for Street Art and a place that presents a somewhat historical discourse of this artist alone, with works of varying ages to be seen. It’s fair to say that as far as the Brighton scene is concerned SNUB23 is the undisputed king.
