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.

    • 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
    • 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.
    • 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.  
    • 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.
