Bead House

Its shutters displaying one of street artist Ben Eine's letters. Lots of shutters around here used to have his letters but they were painted a while back probably over 10 years ago, so many have gone.

In this neck of the woods for a workshop with colleagues from GDS. Walked from Liverpool Street to the swanky new towers at Aldgate. Spent a few hours finding out more about each other, common issues and upcoming work. Nice to see PS and PG again in person.

Lunchtime we went to the local street market and on Polly's recommendation, went for the Ethiopian vegan stall - a mix of vegetarian casseroles, lentils and spinach with some kind of flatbread.

After the workshop, worked clearing emails till gone 6. Home to try out the fish balls I got from the Norwegian church fair. Quite pleasant.

So funny that the woman is obviously crossing the road but not using the designated crossing.

[Kathy A]

Maybe she doesn't want to age the crossing any more than it is

[Jerzy]

It looks like she is taking an angle towards the center of the cross walk. Love this capture. It sounds like an interesting part of town.

Most of the shutters are up! But when down there's a whole alphabet behind there, see https://www.artofthestate.co.uk/london-street-art-2/ben-eine-street-art/

Lovely street shot. The way the lady is strolling slowly across the road gives the impression that traffic is next to zero at this particular time.

I like the street art - fav! I suspect the woman is walking to the side of the crossing to prevent further deterioration of the markings.
