End of an Era for Red Gallery "Last Days of Shoreditch"

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

I am sure that the progress of the destruction has increased since I took the below photographs in March. Mid-March was the last time I have been able to visit London and the last time I was in Shoreditch. I walked by the former location of the Red Gallery, the "Last Days of Shoreditch", which I became familiar with in 2013 and visited to check out street art. Fittingly, the "Past, Present, and Future" Stik street art lives on, observing the changes happening below.

The Red Gallery has hosted much street art over the years, including Banksy (Banksy's Giant Stencil Rat Uncovered on Old Street), Ben Eine (Ben Eine's "Last Days of Shoreditch" and Additional Work), Stik (Stik's "Past, Present & Future"), and many others.

I am not sure what will be placed in its location, but I assume it will be hotels or flats as this is what has become of the other land reclaimed by gentrification.
