London can be absolutely packed on Sundays and we don’t like people so we wanted something unique, something a bit eccentric and wacky, something different ... and we found it in God’s Own Backyard. Seriously, that’s the name of the place. Part museum, part gallery, very colorful, and very irreverent. Neon lights and collectibles from all over split almost equally between religious and porn/sex stuff. We loved it! It’s near Walthamstow Central on the Victoria Underground station but we would never have found it if it wasn’t for a Good Samaritan that pointed us to an industrial park. Life is good!
They have certain photography rules - you can take all the photos you want with a cell phone. You cannot use a DSLR unless you are a student. I saw a bunch of people using DSLRs so I used mine for a bit until the caretaker told me to put it away. We later had a chat - very interesting fellow. This place is only open on weekends since during the week it is a commercial operation - that is how they earn their money and open for free on the weekends. The electric bill is horrendous - I'm surprised they manage to stay open. We are so glad we found this place - it was well worth the journey.
I took these photos in December 2018.
