Street Art on Whitecross Street

Whitecross Street, near the City of London (not far from Bunhill cemetery) and in the borough of Islington, is another area where visitors can find street art. Each year for the past few years, the street hosts a summer street party "The Rise of the Nonconformists". This year, it happens at the weekend coming up (Saturday July 19 and Sunday July 20). Visitors can watch street artists at work, enjoy the street market and street food and enjoy the festival on Whitecross Street. More information can be found on the official website here: http://www.wxstreetparty.co.uk

Street furniture art by Teddy Baden and others

Teddy Baden, Saki, Ben Wilson, Inkie, and HIN are a few of the street artists who plan on being a part of the festival this year. Last summer, I was able to get some photographs of street art by Malarky, Conor Harrington, Teddy Baden, Ronzo, and Don 'Paul' Smith. (I did not attend the festival last year, though, but I saw the aftermath of it!)

For those looking for something fun to do at the weekend, visiting the Whitecross street festival may be just what is needed. East London has quite a few events this weekend. Head over to Brick Lane and Shoreditch for an event celebrating women, "The Girl Effect". Have a great weekend!
