A Bob Marley Mural was created in Brockley, South London 40 years ago but was demolished in 2014. So, this year a Crowdfunding campaign was set up to create a new mural. It was painted this week as part of The Brockley Street Art Festival and I went to see it on Saturday. I was blown away by how amazing the piece of art was, which looked even better in the beautiful summer sun. The detail is incredible, especially in the eyes and I love how the bricks add to the texture of the mural.
The aim of the festival was to showcase murals in the area, and here were some of them that I managed to spot. Including this vibrant one on the front of a house.
And some lovely cherry blossom mosaics outside of the station, which looked perfect against the backdrop of blue sky.
Which is the best mural you have seen?

I’m such a huge fan of street art and these pieces are incredible! I still say the best street art I’ve seen in person is in Bogotá. So amazing!
Me too, I love love street art. I can imagine how great the street art in Bogotá is, South America does great street art!

So pretty and vibrant! I really like the skeleton animal one!
I think that was probably my favourite too; it was a really creative design and I love how it took over the whole wall 🙂
Love love love street art! and all of these are amazing!!! So colorful and unique! I love the ‘the end is only the beginning’ quote! I’d have to say right now my favorite mural is one on a Madrid market that reads- Llena la vida de color or fill life with color! Obsessed with the quote!
What a lovely and very true quote, that must be a beautiful mural! 🙂
How cool, a street art festival?! I love the street art in London! When I was visiting in April, I went on an Alternative London street art tour, which I would recommend if you are into it. It was so interesting! And I just love that cherry blossom mosaic – gorgeous!
I’ve heard of those tours, they sounds great and really interesting. I love London street art too, especially discovering all of the new murals 🙂
I love these murals! Especially the one with the skeleton cats. The cherry blossom mosaic is really pretty too! The bf would love the Bob Marley ones since he’s a big fan!
Thanks Anna. The Bob Marley one definitely stole the show – it was so very amazing! 🙂
I love street art and these are amazing! They bring art and amazing colors to a city’s personality. Love it! The cherry blossoms are really cool and I love the one that looks like a break in the brick and you can see all the fish!
Aren’t they all great? I loved every single one, the colours were so beautiful 🙂
