Looking down Hanbury Street while on a Jack The Ripper tour. Annie Chapman was murdered in the backyard of 29 Hanbury Street which used to stand past this car, & a bit further down on the left.

Detail of a large mural on Hanbury St by Itaewon. This is actually an advert for Alpro but it's quite subtle so I'm not too enraged that another brilliant Street Artist has 'sold out'..... Even they need to pay the mortgage and put food on the table (not to mention the cans of spray paint).
In case the reference to Edward Hopper's 'Night Hawks' painting wasn't clear there's a small snippet of it included in the top righthand corner.

From londondaily.news, "Alpro, the UK’s leading plant-based beverage brand, has added a vibrant touch to Hanbury Street in Spitalfields with a new mural titled “Early Birds.” Inspired by Edward Hopper’s iconic “Nighthawks” painting, the mural celebrates modern coffee culture and aims to brighten the morning commute for Londoners.
Renowned street artist Itaewon created the vibrant 19m x 5.6m mural, transforming the street into a coffee lover’s paradise. The mural features nods to East London’s unique style, from Brick Lane fashionistas to trendy baristas, inviting passersby to pause and enjoy the scene. The mural not only adds a burst of colour to the area but also serves as a tribute to the bustling café culture that defines Spitalfields.
Artist Itaewon says, “Through this mural, we wanted to combine the classic charm of the original Nighthawks with the vibrancy of today’s modern coffee culture. I wanted to create something that not only celebrates the artistry of coffee but also offers a moment of reflection in the busy cityscape – especially East London, which is known as the pulse of the cultural capital. It’s about pausing, just like the people in the painting, and appreciating the small joys—like a delicious cup of coffee.”

Photographed as I was wandering along Brick Lane on my way to a London Flickr Group Photowalk last October. Whilst I really liked the colours and the technical prowess displayed I'm not really sure I agree with the message (although I'm more sympathetic to the polite request not to shoot animals).
Our next photowalk is planned for Saturday 15th March, more info here if you're interested in coming along : www.flickr.com/groups/londonflickrgroup/discuss/721577219...

This collaboration between Jimmy C & Taqi Spateen filled one of the larger walls on Hanbury Street when I visited last October. I was wandering along Brick Lane on my way to a London Flickr Group Photowalk following a wander up Brick Lane.

From almostafternoon.com/blog/2024/09/new-art-work-by-jimmyc-o... , "The collaboration piece was painted with Taqi Spateen. The colourful landscape was painted by JimmyC with the flowers and sky, and Taqi painted the walls and concrete as this is what he expriences in his home country of Palestine with the ongoing conflicts there in the neighbouring countries. The poppy is a symbol of hope and remembrance. Despite the conflcits, nature will continue to do what it does. CCTV cameras have also been painted onto the wall."

To the right are the spots where 27 & 29 Hanbury Street used to be.
27 Hanbury Street (which is the lit building next to the man walking past the tree), was where Albert Cadosch lived.
Cadosch heard a woman's voice say no & a sound made against the fence coming from 29 Hanbury Street at around 5:30 am on September 30 1888.
29 Hanbury Street used to be where the part of the building with its lights off are at the right.
Annie Chapman was murdered by Jack The Ripper on September 30 1888 in the backyard of 29 Hanbury Street.

In the top photo we're looking north at the northern end of Queen Street just north of Hanbury Street.
The buildings beyond over the fence at the end of the street were stables belonging to the Black Eagle Brewery which had premises there on Coverley Fields.
In the bottom photo we're now standing on a new branch of Hanbury Street at the edge of the Chicksand Estate. Standing tall in the background is Osmani Primary School which used to be the Robert Montefiore Secondary School.

Apologies for the badly stitched together photos anyway This long mural is a colaboration between street artists Jimmy C and palestinian artist Taqi Spateen
( Following description From Jimmy c instagram )
This painting depicts a scenic and idealistic landscape that is walled off and surveyed. In the foreground a crow and a mole can be seen, which symbolise the animals that continue to live and move freely about the land, despite the human obstructions imposed upon the landscape. Taqi had asked me to paint a beautiful and colourful landscape, whilst in a harsh contrast he would paint the reality that is familiar to him. He emphasised that the beauty of the landscape in his homeland is nevertheless still very real. The red poppy is one of the indigenous flowers of the Palestine region and is a symbol of both remembrance and of hope.
Street art in Shoreditch, London.
Artist: Taqispateen and Jimmy C
