There's some new graffiti on a shop further up Green Lanes too - I can't remember which shop but near the shoe shop.

Apparently this is due to be removed within three days - though they're usually pretty rapid with graffiti removal and it may be faster than that.

That wall could done with a lick of paint so maybe they did us all a favour. How no one saw this being done is, I really don't know,

I'm all for Community art. Even though it inevitably tends to be parochial. But this wasn't art, just a tag, a marker, from someone trying to take virtual possession of a structure or area.. Basically, the same as a dog peeing up a lamp post or tree.
Tags tend very rarely to be worth keeping.

Yeah, considerable skill.. But the artist couldn't afford his own canvas apparently.
You are comparing apples with pears.. Using somebody else's property to release your 'talent' is not my idea of how anyone should be behaving.
BTW, I happen to live in the world capital of Graffiti - know very well what it can do to degrade city life, if it gets out of hand..
Your Harringay grafitti is just a pxss in the ocean compared to ours.
Google it, and you'll find reports of it being the capital back to the 90s. https://www.google.com/search?q=Berlin+graffiti+capital&ie=utf-...
Of course there are some good works, but generally most of the stuff is from wannabes and is mediocre.

BTW 'Mary' - thank you for giving me this opportunity of showing some my shots:
These two appeared 'overnight' at stations I use:
Both removed after a very short time. Which I think was a shame, but these works could have been done at sites where they could have remained - What a waste. Or as a comparison.
This wonderfully renovated bridge, dating back to 1928, has been tarted up by artists:
Yes, my city is home to some iconic graffiti: And here's a last shot to prove that I can enjoy it too:

At least most graffiti is vaguely arty. Except for the guy round Seven Sisters whose trademark was to paint big emulsion red heart-shapes - he even broke in to the back yard of the house next door to us, and the landlord just left his handiwork there until I thought of a pretext to paint it over for him. On another occasion I signed under the work of this maestro the name 'Banksy', but with one of the earliest letters changed to a 'W'.

I've just Reported the Problem of Elmo's scat on the Wards Corner store. Will be interesting to see if anything happens. It's TfL property and their responsibility to keep the locally listed building in good condition.

Why don't they get some artist to paint a nice slogan on the Wall ???????
