We don't seem to have any from Nottingham yet, so here are some from the Lacemarket area, starting with one from the bottom end of Goosegate; it's been there for a few years without suffering from vandals!
Another prominent one on Broad Street
A wall on the corner of Woolpack Lane and Stoney Street has eight or so hand-painted posters, high up - I'm not sure whether these qualify, and I need a better zoom to do them justice anyway, so I may return to them at a later date, but also on Woolpack Lane is a whole bunch of pics of varying quality:

Across the busy Lower Parliament Street is the upwardly mobile Sneinton market zone. These ones are recent additions on boarded up buildings opposite the Motorpoint Arena. The footpath alongside these isn't wide enough for decent photos, and I'm damned if I'm standing in the road, so these were taken from the other side of the road - sorry about the intervening railings. I saw the first one being worked on about four weeks ago.
Text reads "Babies not Bacon"
I've no idea what was going through the artist's head for this one!
Anyroad up, that's Sneinton Market covered - there are other paintings, but not of great quality. I'll close with an officially sanctioned one, and news that there'll be a Street Art Festival in August.

I came across something totally new today, augmented reality street art by Edward Von Longus. Its to celebrate the 100th year of the artists home country, Estonia, and is part of the London Festival of Architecture running from 1st-30th June. First you have to download a free app to your smart phone, then find some of Edward's artworks, and marvel as they kind of come to life. Its not quite Princess Leia hologram video messages, but that now seems only a short step away.
Under a bridge on Glasshouse Walk in Vauxhall, there are a number of images like this:
View attachment 416773
You start up the (R)estart Reality app on your phone and point it at the picture. I'm holding my phone pointed at artwork with one hand, and filming the images on my phone using my camera with my other hand, while standing out in the road far back enough to get it all on screen....has anyone risk assessed this? This street art lark is getting more and more complicated, it does feel for a second like an elaborate Russian spy plot to get me run over.
Anyway, that image suddenly moves as you can see here:
I like it. Here's another.
Still image:

And it lives.....it reminds me of Terry Gilliam and Monty Python
And there is another one under the Bridge by Vauxhall Underground/Bus Depot.
View attachment 416771
And during this one I did a full on double take. Firstly the women appear to be taking selfies and then transmogrifying (c/o Calvin and Hobbs) into other women. Not only that, I discovered that even though I am filming the image on my phone just a few inches from the camera, if anyone walks between the phone and the image, so out of camera shot, behind the phone, they still show up in the image. So there is some sort of continuous interaction between image and phone, its not just playing some pre-recorded image. I have no idea about this sorcery, but when the bloke walks through the shot in this, I shoot him a startled glance as I ascertain if he is actually real
It all went a bit like the Matrix for a minute there

Sloane Square has been filled with a herd of painted heffalumps. The panel on the left here explains.
The herd is up for sale by auction.
This one looks like its made of Shredded wheat
This is my favourite, but I'm a sucker for chrome.
And over in Portobello Road, I came across Liz 2 taking the corgi's for a walk by hoverboard. Catman also did this image over in Dulwich, but without the Union Flag background.
And I really like this one, the paint trail is the shape of the river Thames winding through the city, and the brickwork I guess represents the approximate shape of the built up metropolis of London.

Spotted this in Lewisham High Road a week or so back but didn't have a camera on me at the time.
And then diverting towards an evening craft beer I spotted this in Deptford's Creekside...

Thanks @Toshiba Boy. I've nearly finished building another shiny bike, these pages will soon be graced with its presence....but I'm not lending it to any nellies, I don't think my wheels could take the strain.
@deptfordmarmoset ahhh good ones, I have seen some Nathan Bowen ones around Liverpool St I think.
Thanks @Cuchilo, I've still not got to Brighton, I think there's lots more there we haven't seen yet, I do like that one
And good work @SteveF hope you are enjoying your continued European adventure, and thanks for the new additions.
I've been over at the Latimer Road site, which is almost in the shadow of Grenfell Tower, the tragedy there happened just over a year ago. Banners demanding justice and memorial walls act as a chilling reminder to what happened here. Local feeling toward the Govt and how it handled the tragedy is scathing, and this is reflected in some of the art works in the area.
Here's Lord Snooty, which is obviously meant to be Jacob Rees-Mogg, getting a good old fashioned crow-barring
Yes I'm sorry but your bum does look big in that outfit.. I do like the vote Dodo poster too.
And these two smaller ones are nearby.

Excellent @Dave 123 really like that. We've had an assortment of creatures so far, but they are definitely our first dragons.....and here's our second, though not in the same league as yours.
There's two new works in Hanbury St. This is first for us too I think, unless there's already been a wildebeest I've forgotten about.
And this great Sr X one, who has a number of works throughout these pages, most recently the one featuring the two cartoon mice in Penge.
