The finest gallery of London graffiti online

Changes to the site.....

Due to the large rise in social networking websites in recent years, all blog type posts and anything of interest will now be posted on our new Facebook page.
Nobody wants to be checking 50 websites every time they go online. The ease of having everything in one place makes sense, that's the reason for this current change.

We also feel that the forum and the photo's on it, are the most important things on this website and improving the galleries will be one of the main aims for the future. This includes updating and general editing to make every browse more enjoyable.
Looking back on them in 5/10, even 50 years (if you are still here) would be quite something. The history of an era and every stage of it, all there in one place and done properly.

If you have enjoyed the blog type posts for the last few years then feel free to click the 'like' button on our new Facebook page, where anything we do post up on their will appear on your news feed. All forum members old and new we thank you for any contribution you have made.

Under the GraffLondon banner at the top of this page you will see links that will take you to different parts of our forum. Click 'forum home' to be taken to the main forum page and from there you can move in and out of every section.
The forum has thousands of photo's of graffiti and other interests from around the world. It is the largest gallery of London graffiti online with photo's included from us and all other graffiti websites.

'GLdn gallery' features GraffLondon only photo's while the other sections are mixed. All photo's have been posted by thousands of different members of the forum over the years and we thank them for making it what it is today.

Any announcements in the future will be made either here, on the forum or on the Facebook page. We would prefer to not be contacted at this time but if you really need to then do it on Facebook.

We hope you enjoy the galleries.

£100K GRAFFITI VANDAL

2010-11-29T13:00:00.002+00:00

STRUCK IN 13 LONDON BOROUGHS JAILED FOR 26 MONTHS

A prolific graffiti vandal who caused over £100, 000 worth of damage across 13 London boroughs has been jailed for 26 months following a British Transport Police (BTP) investigation.

***** *****, 24, of *****, *****, Isle of Wight, was also given a five-year anti-social behaviour order (ASBO) after being sentenced at Blackfriars Crown Court on Thursday, 18 November 2010.

The court heard that ***** – who pleaded guilty to 25 counts of criminal damage – caused damage over a period of three years between March 2007 and July this year.

He targeted trains, stations and infrastructure, as well as shops, across 13 London boroughs, as well as in Potters Bar, Hertfordshire.* (N.B. Full list of locations below)

The total damage caused by ***** was estimated as being in excess of £113,000.

***** was arrested on 6 June this year after being linked to graffiti damage caused near to Hungerford Bridge in London.

After attending and taking photographs of the damage and a known ‘tag’, detectives from BTP’s Graffiti Unit checked the tag against a police graffiti database, linking it to *****, as well as other locations where the tag had been daubed.

Detectives executed search warrants at ****’s temporary address in *****, south London, as well as his girlfriend’s home in north London, and recovered a number of items relating to graffiti, including CDs with photos of graffiti damage, as well as paraphernalia such as spray paint cans, marker pens and photographs of **** associating with other known graffiti vandals.

After being questioned in custody, **** was released on police bail while investigators carried out further enquiries.

Using handwriting analysis, detectives then set about comparing the tag at Hungerford Bridge with police photographs of the same tag in various other locations, with the unique style and characteristics of each tag confirming him as the culprit.

The court also heard that **** continued to offend while on police bail, daubing trains with graffiti at Ealing Broadway depot and Barking depot in July 2010.

Detective Sergeant Jeremy Walley, of BTP’s Graffiti Unit, said:

"*****’s vandalism was nothing more than wanton damage that costs thousands of pounds to clean up.

"Writing graffiti on the railway or elsewhere is not a harmless pastime and we will continue to work closely with train operating companies, Network Rail and other police forces to reduce these criminal acts.”

£40K GRAFFITI VANDAL

2010-07-26T16:27:00.002+01:00

WHO STRUCK IN 11 LONDON BOROUGHS SENTENCED TO NINE MONTHS – LONDON/HERTS/SUSSEX/KENT

A prolific graffiti vandal who caused over £40,000 worth of damage in 11 London boroughs, as well as in Hertfordshire, Sussex and Kent, has been found guilty of criminal damage and sentenced to nine months imprisonment following a British Transport Police (BTP) investigation.

*** ***, 27, of *** Road, Mitcham, was also given a five year anti-social behaviour order when he was sentenced at Blackfriars Crown Court today, Tuesday, 20 July.

The court heard that *** – who pleaded guilty to causing criminal damage at an earlier hearing– caused damage over a period of two years between January 2008 and March this year.

He targeted buildings, trains, stations and infrastructure in 11 London boroughs, as well as in Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire, Three Bridges in Sussex and Shepherds Well in Kent.

The total damage caused by *** was estimated as being in excess of £40,000.

*** was arrested on 14 January earlier this year after being linked to graffiti damage caused to a train in Three Bridges, Sussex a few days earlier.

After attending and taking photographs of the train and a known ‘tag’ inscribed on it, detectives from BTP’s Graffiti Unit checked the tag against a police graffiti database, linking it to ***, as well as other locations where the tag had been daubed.

Detectives executed a search warrant at ***’s address in Mitcham and recovered a number of items relating to graffiti, including pieces of paper with the tag sketched on, as well as paraphernalia such as spray paint cans, marker pens and photographs of *** associating with other known graffiti vandals.

After being questioned in custody, *** was released on police bail while investigators carried out further enquiries.

Using handwriting analysis, detectives then set about comparing the tag *** had daubed on the train at Three Bridges with police photographs of the same tag in various other locations, with the unique style and characteristics of each tag confirming him as the culprit.

The court also heard that *** continued to offend while on police bail, daubing a train with graffiti in Shepherd’s Well, Kent, in March 2010.

Detective Constable Colin Saysell, of BTP’s Graffiti Unit, said:

"Vandals like *** who commit graffiti offences often believe that their work is art – sadly when the chosen canvas is railway property it cannot be considered art and is nothing more than wanton damage that costs thousands of pounds to clean up.

"Writing graffiti on the railway or elsewhere is not a harmless pastime and we hope the sentence handed down to *** acts as a deterrent to other likeminded individuals. We will continue to work closely with train operating companies, Network Rail and other police forces to reduce these criminal acts.”
