A rainy Sunday in Hyde Park

Well we did promise a less lazy blog post over the weekend, so despite the rain we took our camera to the streets of Hyde Park. A tip off about large-scale freehand mural had us heading off the beaten track towards the edge of the park.

We were rewarded for our efforts with this dark masterpiece lighting up the walls of a house across from the main Hyde Park next to small play area.

Tagged by 'Replete' this giant artwork takes up most of the building, skillfully navigating windows and a door in the process. We would have stopped to admire it longer but it was pouring with rain so we jumped back in the Streeterarti chariot and continued to scour the streets for secret snippets of street art.

After a drive through the rabbit warren of streets resisting the temptation to dive into Hyde Park Picture House, (definitely worth a visit if you're in the area) we discovered an ingenious use of newspaper near Hyde Park Corner.

Prolific Leeds street artist Pogger makes his art in the warmth before venturing out in the cold to display them in a street side gallery.

Then as the cafes and coffee shops beckoned we found this stencil art urging on the revolution down an alleyway next to a brightly lit cafe and decided that, with our work here done it would be rude not partake in coffee and cake!

So hopefully by now you know the rules. Seen something we've missed? Take a picture, pass it on and we'll add it to our Hyde Park Collection here.
