A STREET ART TOUR OF SHOREDITCHby Laura Cantadori, March 21st , 2014
Almost every day, at least one new street art piece pops up in Shoreditch, the area of London most populated by street art and graffiti. Although street art is meant to be temporary, artists frequently choose the same walls. At least that’s what happens in the streets of Shoreditch, where some works last a long time, some are stolen and some are painted over – it’s all a question of chance.
