Stoke-Newington
Went over to this suburb in the northeast of London, it's a nice little village, still in central London, just south of Tottenham. It's filled with funky little shops, cafes, pubs etc. Still quite a cheap area strangely enough. It's the sort of area we'd consider living in, down the track. Found a beautiful little cemetary, which was filled with not only dead people, but a myriad of aged tombstones. Some broken and sad looking, but stepping off the busy streets, they provide a sanctuary of sorts. And I love them. Heres a few snaps...



The village is filled with awsome houses like these. Obviously worth a few bob, but it's also got a lot of more derelict type houses which I wouldn't mind getting my hands onto.
I'm a bit of a graffiti nut. And theres a few choice pieces around Stoke. This particular piece is really quite large, taking up a good portion of the side of a house. Some people cringe at graffiti but I reckon it's valid art. Highly illegal, but worth the risk. Unless your name is Peta Marks.

Loved the Stoke Newington cementery and the graffity - it actually looks awesome :-) Normally I don't really like them but this is a real work of art.

I know nothing of what you speak. I have not, and never will be, captured by a law enforcement officer engaging in such a filthy and criminal activity as graffiti. Nor, may I add, have I ever befriended, spoken to, or pub crawled with individuals of this ilk. I have not, repeat not, telephoned my amigos pretending to work for the Bondi Junction Police Service.
I do not have paint on my hands...
So there.
