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

2010-11-29T13:00:00.002Z

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.”

London graffiti crew jailed

2010-07-13T08:30:00.002+01:00

Tube graffiti gang jailed for ‘epidemic’ of train vandalism

A teenage gang has been locked up for vandalising dozens of Tube trains and stations with graffiti.

The teenagers daubed the tag “FTS” all over the trains and filmed themselves on their mobile phones. One of the gang brazenly declared online: “If I get two years I'll still paint.”

The youngest gang member was only 14 when took part in the vandalism between April 2008 and June last year. Now 16, he was sentenced alongside a 17-year-old who also cannot be named and four older youths at Southwark crown court.

Passing sentence Judge John Price said: “The damage was a very large scale. Whole Tube carriages were defaced. It is an epidemic. We see it all over London.

“It is distressing for people, it causes chaos, carriages have to be taken out of use at enormous cost and repainted.”

Earlier, prosecutor William McGivern said the gang's damage amounted to nearly £60,000 and disrupted commuter services across north-west London and the suburbs.

The gang was in contact by email, phone or text to discuss targets, security and meeting places.

They would then get to work armed with bolt cutters, spray cans, permanent marker pens, acid and paint.

Most of the gang were arrested in July last year after a long-running operation by British Transport Police.

*****, 18, *****, 18, *****, 18, and *****, 19, all of Pinner, admitted conspiracy to cause criminal damage and were sent to a young offender institute for nine months each.

The 17-year-old was given an eight-month detention and training order and the 16-year-old was ordered to undergo two years' supervision and comply with a three-month curfew.

Each defendant also received a three-year Asbo banning them from carrying graffiti-related items or from entering private railway property.

There was an American video like this doing the rounds a while back, and in light of the prison sentences being given out for changing the colours of surfaces in the UK at the moment HYB thought it might be useful to make an English one. The advice is genuine advice from a qualified legal professional. It covers a broad range but basically can be summed up as Shut Up and Get a Good Solicitor.

'MCKOY BANOS' admits train damage

Oliver Fricker, 32, was sentenced to the minimum three strokes from a rattan cane and five months in prison after he pleaded guilty to breaking into a Singapore train depot last month and spray-painting graphics and the words "McKoy Banos" across two carriages.
-----

A warrant of arrest has been issued for Briton Lloyd Dane Alexander, the alleged accomplice of Swiss national Oliver Fricker, who has been charged with vandalizing an MRT train at SMRT's Changi depot.
In a statement released yesterday, the police said that they had consulted the Attorney-General's Chambers and applied for the arrest warrant which was granted by the Subordinate Courts.
Alexander is said to have fled to Hong Kong before the incident was reported to police on 19 May.
Fricker was released on Monday after posting a S$100,000 bail. His passport has been impounded to prevent him from leaving the country.

As HYB and numerous stupid fucking Channel 4 ads have presumably already informed you, you have until Tuesday to register to vote. Labour need to be removed from office at all costs. Vast proportion of you lot are probably too cynical/apathetic to want to bother to go through any saga so you can take part in an election you don't give two shits about, but please think for a moment. Why are you cynical? Why do you not care? Is it because Labour have given you 13 long, hard years of lies, broken promises and bullshit draconian legislation, and have turned Britain into a place you no longer care about very much by making patriotism a euphemism for racism, or is it because politics is bullshit? I'm going to side with the former. I implore you to register to vote, and to get involved on the day - even if you're going to vote for a party with no hope of winning, or spoil your ballot paper, send those in power a message that you're sick of them. Our current government got elected by just over 9 million people in a country with a population of over 60 million. If lots of people turn out to vote this time round but neglect to support either main party, then it'll send a strong message that they can't get away with appealing to the sectional views of the tiny Daily Mail reading Little Englander demographic. Some opinion polls have the Liberal Democrats in the lead - and one of their key policies is the repeal of Labour's terrorism policies and the destruction of the surveillance/database culture that we spend so much time whining about. Let's make Britain better together. Change can happen if you really really want it.
