What was London like before Banksy: street art of the 80s

In the 80s, a craze for street art began in the British capital. More and more graffiti began to appear on the streets: from frivolous to serious, from exclusively decorative to political.

The photos from this collection were taken in London in 1985-1986 and reflect the problems and aspirations that the British people lived with at that time. Some of these murals still exist, although they have faded a lot. And in the photos of the 80s, they are still juicy and bright.
