Ben Eine was in London this summer and left behind some nice murals (Street Art: Ben Eine). The artist moved from London about a year ago, so not much has been added to London's streets since he left, although traces of his work can be seen on shutters and opposite Shoreditch High Street station. One of my favourite pieces is the new one below, which also appears almost opposite Shoreditch High Street and is called "Old London".
The word "Create" was painted near Old Street and City Road on boards near the busy street.
The Olympic Park piece was painted early in the summer and is titled "The Review", based on the Victoria and Albert Museum's review of the Olympics. The piece was hard to photograph because it is so large! I only captured a very little bit of it from a distance. "History", "Connections", and "Storytelling" were a few of the words painted across the large boards in the middle of the Olympic Park.
For more information about the piece, you can read about it at the following website (Inspiring City), and they also have a lot of photographs with some of the words: http://inspiringcity.com/2014/06/30/street-artist-ben-eine-creates-the-review-a-massive-mural-in-the-heart-of-londons-olympic-park/
