イズリントンのロンドン特別区周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

Now everyone does seem to get awfully excited these days when a new Banksy mural appears. It was no surprise therefore to find the great and the good of the street art world out in force to see his latest piece. The last time a Banksy appeared in the city, it got covered up within 24 hours. With that in mind it’s always worth getting there quick. The main work features a stencilled police man and woman. Recognisably by Banksy, they appear to be conducting a stop and search on Basquiat. We know it’s him because the image of Basquiat is from an image that the artist himself painted back in 1982. That was as part of the piece ‘Boy and Dog in a Johnnypump‘. The work features an abstract skeletal figure of a man with a dog. It’s a piece full of energy and was meant to be a self representation. It was painted at a time when Basquiat was really starting to get courted in the art world and making a name for himself.

awesome

Opened in 2006, the Emirates Stadium replaced Highbury as Arsenal's home ground. This modern stadium can hold 60,704 people and atmosphere on matchdays is electric. Arsenal are one of England's most successful clubs, behind only Manchester United and Liverpool in terms of trophies won. However, unlike Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester City, Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa, they've never won the Champions League (or European Cup equivalent).

Lovely disused railway now a great place for walkers, runners or cyclists for an natural escape from urban east-end London. There is a trail off the main path at the acid grassland between Mountview Road and Blythwood Road that is worth taking for a quieter and more wooded walk.

Great hotel, not a bargain

Beautiful hotel. Unfortunately, the room rates are above my budget :-) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Pancras_Renaissance_London_Hotel

A circuit of the stadium is a pleasant ride, and the new cycle lanes on Drayton Park are excellent

Beautiful building incl. a Hotel and train station
