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?

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
