Hackney Wick is now becoming a new Shorditch with all the street art around the place. At the beginning of June I went on a photo walk with London Photo Walk around the area. It is a place that I hadn’t explored around before as I am usually just passing through to Stratford.

Along the canals are lots of street art on the edges of the walls of the canal.

Finally ending up on Bow creek. A long walk but enjoyable seeing parts of London that I wouldn’t have ventured to.
