UK - London - Street Art - London doesnt work by Banksy_DSC1814
This Banksy stencilled Rat in Chiswell Street, Islington holds a sign saying "I love London Robbo" but originally it read "London doesn't work". This is one of a number of Banksy pieces that Street Artist Robbo 'defaced' as part of a feud between the two of them that lasted up until Robbo's accidental death in 2014.

From Wikipedia : "King Robbo (born John Robertson, 23 October 1969 – 31 July 2014) was an English underground graffiti artist. His feud with the artist Banksy was the subject of a Channel 4 television documentary called Graffiti Wars, first shown in August 2011.....
In 1985 15 year old King Robbo painted a graffiti work under the British Transport Police Headquarters on a wall beside Regent's Canal in Camden, London which was only accessible by water. A large full colour graffiti piece, called "Robbo Incorporated", it had over the years become the oldest piece of graffiti in London. Over time, virtually all of his works had been gradually removed from London's trains and walls by authorities, except for this piece. In 2009 however, the English stencil artist Banksy destroyed most of it with a stencil of a workman pasting wallpaper."
By the way, if you live in London, or have a lot of London photos tucked away in your archives you might be interested to learn that at 2pm tomorrow (Sunday April 26th) the London Flickr Group will be launching a virtual London Photo Trail.
