Sheffield Street Art: London Road

London Road in Sheffield is home to some of the city's best restaurants serving cuisines which originated from all over the world. But not only that, it also has a fine collection of street art works along its walls or at the back of the buildings. These are the photos we've taken on our Sheffield Street Art Walk in July starting with Mila K's furry friend on a side wall below.

This beautiful work by Colloquix are on the shutters of an old camera shop. Someone wrote that the council should be doing more commissions like this to make closed businesses look less depressing. I would definitely agree.

At the other side of the road, along Club Garden Walk are another batch of artworks by various artists including Kid Acne and EMA.

At the gable end of Yama Sushi is this work by My Life Project, a group of professional community arts and media specialists that are stamping their art works all over the city. This particular piece includes a work by Trik9 who draws beautiful manga-looking women.

This one is called Teddy Boy (I've read that somewhere) by EMA in Randall Place . It would have looked nicer if the door was closed but it was midday and the door was being used.

Paste-ups including a stabby woman by Kid Acne and a man in a mask by Simon Kent.

We nearly missed this artwork at the back of the London Road Post Office by Burning Candle. The artwork in the hairdressers is easy enough to find.
These images are taken at the car park at the back of The Bell Jar and inside the beer garden. You can get to it through Hill Street and then a left turn to Derby Street and eventually walk inside the car park.
