Building sites around London are increasingly turning the walls around their sites into canvases for artists. Behind the Tate this wall, that seems to go for ever, is covered in wonderful pictures.

  1. I wonder: will it cut down on graffiti and the posting of unwanted placards? What a great idea and beautiful way to minimize some of the urban blight.

  5. What a beautiful idea. So much better than advertising, graffiti, and the like. Wish that would catch on here (oh, wait I don't live in a city any more. Sigh!).
