I had previously covered street art by Nether410, a US-based street artist who has previously painted a few murals in London. On his last visits, he had painted Charlie and Carol Burns murals on Bacon Street off Brick Lane. They were both popular figures in the east end of London and well-known at the markets. Nether410 painted a new tribute to Charlie Burns as the last one got tagged over, and he also painted a couple of birds that I managed to photograph - birds being another popular subject of the artist.
The Charlie Burns, who passed away in 2012, mural shows the man with his boxing gloves and "king of Bacon Street".
Additional work of Charlie Burns that I managed to photograph on this wall is below:
