Graffiti in Dulwich Park


Recommended Posts

On my walk to and from work, I walk through Dulwich Park using the Dulwich Park Road entrance/exit. When I walked through at midday today everything looked absolutely fine. However when I walked back through later at about 4:45pm, there was phallic graffiti sprayed all over the floor!! I'm sure I wouldn't have blindly walked past this first time around... Outrageous.

Where?s Dulwich Park Road?


I watched a video this morning, The Tour De France have a team which go out early in the morning to change the knob graffiti using paint rollers to turn it into some other unrecognisable form.


Must be a camera director?s nightmare trying to avoid any that got missed.

Second one, few weeks ago large phallic picture painted on the road up by the Court Lane entrance a few weeks ago.

If you are going to be outraged by graffiti in a large urban global city such as London, then you are going to be shocked and annoyed a lot in life.


I dont think some spray paint on the floor of a park is going to do anyone any harm at all. Even if it is "phallic"!

Here, here. Also do not think that it is only youngsters that do this. Around East Dulwich there were grown men writing small graffiti 'messages' on a lot of public buildings and structures at one time.

There's a book called "Sh*t London" which is very amusing and where a picture of this would not be out of place! London is edgy in the sense that it can be a bit scruffy and unpredictable. I would hate to see all parts gentrified to the point of uninteresting blandness. Not sure about phallic graffiti on the path though although it's an obvious upgrade from the lavatory door!

Sternhall Lane "F&ck Vegans" - often graffiti is pro vegan.
