Problem
Where is the biggest one? How can I get to see it?
Useful websites
Lovely video from the BBC, where you see the entire mural and sections in detail, and meet the Global Street Art founder, Lee Bofkin and some of his pairs of artists.
Why pairs of artists? It seemed appropriate because the theme of the mural is connectivity.
How big is it? 115 Metres wide and 13 metres high, in total 1400.
Why does the BBC call it a wall mural? A mural is a painting on a wall.
Shoreditch High Street station is on the London overground. You can see it on the tube map. (tfl.gov.uk).
At a London station, I picked up a leaflet called London and the South East rail service London attractions 2 for 1 offers when you go by train. Inside was something I've been wanting for years, a London railway station map much larger so I could read the small print stations names.
To see it, join
Street Art Tours.
You will walk about a mile and a half for over 3 hours on their standards tours, which can be varied to suit different ages and requirements.
Also see the Cable Street mural.
You are also likely to see a Banksy.
Central London
If you can't get to Shoreditch to see the Banksy, there's another in Mayfair called Shop until you drop. Photo author QuentinUK in Wikipedia.
