Discarded London

When I used to work on Brick Lane, I would spend my lunch breaks exploring the streets. The streets always offered something new; something had always changed from the last time I visited. Normally, it was a new paste-up or street art mural. Sometimes, it was interesting discarded items or rubbish. Even before Francisco da Pajaro (also known as 'Art is Trash', who I covered here and here) came to London and decorated these piles of trash or 'found art', I saw the 'art' in the discarded items. Many of these were placed randomly and in obscure places. Sometimes, the item was altered with a message from someone else who happened to come across the item before me. This post showcases only a small selection of items that I found and photographed on the streets of east London.
