Not a proper street art safari without spotting Banksy — the street artist who gained notoriety in his "documentary" Exit Through the Gift Shop Stumbled upon this inspirational quote on a side street near Oxford Circus AND here's a close-up of one of Banksy's favorite stencil subjects ... THE RAT WHY A RAT? Allegedly, Banksy's rat is a homage to Blek le Rat, a pioneer of stencil graffiti who once stated: "[I] began to spray rats in the streets of Paris because rats are the only wild living animals in cities and only rats will survive when the human race will have disappeared and died out" It's not the nicest thought, but not all art has to be "nice" Spotted this Banksy outside Cargo Club on Rivington Here's a close-up on the text (and the poodle) Still can't get enough of London?
Well ... MORE London pics are coming tomorrow But don't worry, I'll be moving on from street art I found more in London than just street art
