    Brief History: Street Art or graffiti as some would prefer to call it has been around for decades. The subcultural has existed for several years, and is still going strong. Some could even argue that it began when the Romans used to draw on caves. The kind of street art as we know it, which uses spray cans developed from New York in the late 1960s. A man named Taki travelled all over the world and liked to write his name in a marker wherever he went including subway stations and cars. He became a mysterious figure and was known throughout the city. Eventually Taki was interviewed and became famous, which encouraged kids to follow his role and began to emulate him, also writing their names on cars, and even trains - this later began known as tagging. The 1970s was the golden era for subway tagging, which soon got out of control and became a huge problem. With more security cameras and strict laws, graffiti is still slipping through and pushing the boundaries. There has always been a very controversial view on whether graffiti is art or vandalism. With some people extremely influenced by Banksy and being very artistic with their work, the street art looks beautiful. However some people arent graffiti-ing to be creative, they simply want to just write offensive words on buildings. Where Can You Grafitti? In the UK, there are no actual legal places to graffiti that have been written down as a law, however there are a few places in London, which you are allowed to graffiti on.

    Leake Street, London.

  • Leake Street is known as The Banksy tunnel after he used it for his Cans Festival in 2008 and successfully got it legalised to graffiti on. It is 200m long and is filled with not only Banksys work, but the publics too. This is the biggest legal wall in London.

    Alexandra Palace. The walls around Alexandra Skatepark are 8ft tall and are covered in graffiti. Theres not too much space though, so there is only room for around 7 pieces at a time, which means sometimes when you come back, your piece may be gone! Alexandra Palace gave permission themselves for graffiti to be done on these walls, which means its less of a hassle for the artists to get permission. Other places to graffiti include Mile end and Stockwell both very popular. A place outside of the UK, which has actually legalized street art, is, Hosier Lane, Melbourne, Australia. Not only does Hosier Lane allow street art, it also seems as if it actually encourages it on the public. Travel guides and advertising campaigns have been created to promote Hosier Lane and street art, which is the perfect place for artists to go for freedom of their artwork. Other places in Melbourne have even got Perspex on buildings and walls to prevent it from damage. In Taipei in Taiwan, police officers have admitted to over looking street art and not getting involved unless people complained or there is damage to a property.
