God forbid there's even a known graffiti artist who uses the EDF...

That'll no doubt put the proverbial 'sh*ts' up you...

Here is where the Stik paintings are:

Hansler Road on Property In opposite Lordship Lane Carpets

Blackwater Court, off Blackwater Street, on Push Studios

Blackwater Street on the side of Mrs Robinsons shop.

Beauval Road, 'The Moorings' at junction with Townley Road

150 Court Lane

184 Court Lane

Dulwich Park - on the building next to the bowling green, opposite the playground.


Some of the walls have laminated postcards of the originals in Dulwich Picture Gallery near them, but I haven't got around to putting them up on all of the walls. Perhaps I shouldn't and people would prefer to guess? Another suggestion is to put up QR codes with the URL of the picture's entry on the DPG website.


There is a great piece by Remi Rough on Crawthew Grove and Lordship Lane and there is the whole Goose Green saga of Blake's Vision of Angels painted by Stan Peskett. Read about it here.


Anyone know of any more?

Bit late to the discussion. People using words like "beautiful" to describe these paintings are over egging the pudding a bit IMO. I like them though, they're fun and friendly looking, and lets face it, a lot of ED does look a bit drab, so it brightens the place up a bit.


I used to love the (very 80s) graffiti on Spurling Road, opposite the EDT.

thank you. I love the wall on Crawthew - it cheers me up every time I go past it. There's also some art i look out for on the train into london bridge. It's on the side of an old factory in peckham and it's a bit 'bikerish' with crows and stuff. Anyone know anything more about that?

Bit harsh to call it graffiti, it was a proper mural wasn't it?


I really liked it too, couldn't believe it when they painted it over.

Definitely would like to see a mural/street art/proper graffiti on the giant white wall on Spurling Road. By 'proper graffiti' I likely mean the 80's stylings Otta is thinking of (you know, think flat top, ghetto blaster,and maybe a piece of laminate ktichen flooring you found in a skip to 'break' on). I most definitely do not mean the sh*t tags that d*ckheads leave anywhere they possibly can for God knows what reason (though having a tiny penis is my guess).

The pieces you mention are by Gent artist Roa and UK artist and cartoonist Phlegm.


And to correct something that was said earlier; the piece on the side of the Bishop is a collaboration piece by Remi/Rough and L.A artist Augustine Kofie.

I only just noticed, the other day, the mural on the small building/shed thing at the 63 bus stop outside the Herne Tavern. It's a massive improvement to what it looked like previously..it has been there years and years, I remember it when I was a kid. Anyone know its purpose?

Nothing harsh meant, I just call that sort of 80s wall painting graffiti.


I don't call tagging graffiti, I just call it shit vandalism.

Which piece do you look out on? Would it help if you knew about the original in Dulwich Picture Gallery that it is based on? I would be happy to show it to you and explain the connections. Sorry if you know all about this already. Stik's work does not appeal to everyone as does the work of any artist.
Interestingly I approached the landlord of the building earlier in the summer as I thought the same as you, and he was very pleased to have some street art on the wall. I sent him a selection of artists willing to paint it, and he chose Stik! But Stik thinks that Dulwich must be sick of him by now and is reluctant to paint that wall. So that is as far as I have got. Perhaps track down some more street artists that may appeal to the landlord. Any ideas?

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
