Hi Sue

Over 1000 people participated in the vote to choose an artist, which was fantastic. Blue Shop Cottage/Alphabetics Anonymous were the winners and are on-site now!!! VERY exciting!


Lots of people stopping to talk to them. If you are free today or tomorrow, pop down and say hi to Jake, Hannah, Ocki and Nathan.


If you can't the mural will be finished Monday morning. We're very excited for ED to see the end result. We love it, and we hope you all do too.

Am honestly gutted at being tied up the whole weekend, really wanted to get some photos of the piece from start to finish : (


On the positive side, having seen the artists other work, I just know its going to be fantastic and something I'll enjoy seeing every time I pass the station, and yes, doing creative work in horrible weather is a real test on ones patience, so extra kudos to them for that!


So happy to see the area getting more street art : )

Hi Cat


We have those! So you can copy them once the piece is complete. Email is at [email protected], or check out the website next week.


The artists also have a friend creating a short film about the piece and documenting progress, so as soon as that is live, we'll let you know too.

The gang are back on it in this horrible weather and making awesome progress! Say HI if you are passing.


Special thanks to the two d*ckheads who pointlessly scrawled on the wall overnight. Which brings us to our next stage: We are about to crowdfund for the long term protection of the wall, which is over and above the budget for the creation of the mural. We want this to be a lovely asset to the area for a long time, and we will be asking ED residents to help protect it. The Forest Hill community raised over ?2500 in 72hrs for the creation and protection of their mural, which is awesome, and we hope you will all get behind your mural too. As soon as this is live, we'll let you all know.

Hi Kate


Thanks so much for your comment. We agree! The mural looks incredible. BSC&AA were working in the dark until 9.30pm last night to finish it, and we are so happy with the end result.


In terms of preparation, yes, it needs protected or it'll get damaged. Within the budget, we were able to put a sealant on it today to protect it short term against defacement, HOWEVER longer term, we are about to crowdfund to protect it long term with more anti-graffiti coating and also rain water protection. The water from the bridge will do some harm to it, so we are discussing guttering to redirect the water from the face of the wall. But the budget doesn't cover this, so we HOPE that now the community has seen the mural, they'll step up to help us protect it.


As soon as the crowdfunder is live, we'll be launching it here.

      Promo counter/ trade-show stand wanted for community art project.

      By Lillo · Posted

      A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By Rockets · Posted

      No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.

      Electrician (Highly recommended) - James Seth

      By AlanMBarr · Posted

      I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By David Peckham · Posted

      Most recent polls for the next election suggest it will be a hung parliament, with Reform the largest party by a fair margin. But that is predicated on Reform finding around 300 candidates who are actually electable. Given the number of Reform council candidates who have had to drop out prior to or after the local elections, does that seem likely? Social media is pretty unforgiving when it comes to finding skeletons in cupboards; a retweet or a like seems enough to scupper political ambitions. A few may defect from other parties, but do you think the electorate would really vote for so many brand new MPs from a newish party?  I'm not so sure.
