Before I left for Walthamstow to begin the street art walking tour I had plenty of time to visit Leake Street and to have breakfast in The Sidings.
There were almost a dozen yellow jacketed private security guards at the other end of the tunnel seemingly having a briefing.
This art celebrates the Association of Mouth and Foot Painting Artists (AMFPA) was founded in 1956 in Liechtenstein to help disabled artists achieve financial independence.
Here’s a link to my dedicated Street Art feed on Instagram.
The yellow jacketed private security guards were now at the entrance as delivery vans were driving slowly into the tunnel.
I took yet another reflection image in the entrance puddle and then something unexpected happened…
… I was challenged by a Sidings security guard as I walked past the old milk float. I was told it was a security concern taking photographs. Then asking if the “images” were for private use.
This tunnel known as the “Banksy Tunnel” or London’s “Graffiti Tunnel” is a major tourist hotspot, a public space and everyone is taking pictures!
Breakfast at Wetherspoons in The Sidings.
Then it was time to head off to my long Underground journey to Walthamstow.
