One of the things that I love about London is the random art that you come across when you’re walking around. One of my favourite shortcuts is to go from Tottenham Court Road past Foyles and into Soho to get me to Chinatown (technically its probably not any shorter but it definitely gets me away from all the darn tourists!) Looking up I recently noticed that Foyles and nearby buildings have gotten a facelift:

Looks great right? Its by an undercover photographer/artist called JR. His signature is to do things on a giant scale posting black and whites up on to big spaces like the face of buildings. Earlier this year, something I unfortunately didn’t see, he even had something up against one of the walls outside of the Tate Modern. All with political/social commentary in the background of course.
