I was wandering down the street from Brick Lane towards Old Street when I was struck by the calibre and beauty of this collection of graffiti on the walls of this squat in Shoreditch.
Sprung from the site of the Foundry, an infamous grimy bar and gallery space that was closed down in June because the building is slated for the demolition ball, the Shoreditch Social Centre is a 'free for all' arts community centre run by squatters who aim to shows how easy it is to create an art for all space by hosting a variety of events.

As an avid urban art documentarista, London is an awesome town to be in!
