Good weather today with nice clear skies so I decided to climb up the 304 steps to the top of the Monument - the worlds tallest stone doric column. I'll post the pictures of the views later this week.

Now there's only one route left - Route 159 from Marble Arch to Streatham

Took a trip to Highbury today to see how the work is getting on the new Emirates stadium (see tomorrows post). I thought I'd take the opportunity to record the Art Deco facade of Highbury stadium before it gets converted into luxury flats.

Last day of the Banksy Crude Oils show today so here's one of the less famous paintings in the exhibition. It was apparently put up by an unknown artist on the opening night. All this sneaking stuff into exhibitions is getting pretty common. I had a go in Tate Modern a couple of years back (see here ) and the Louvre recently commented it has been happening for years at the rate of 2 -3 times a week!

Getting up is a new game for the playstation where you can apparently run around town throwing up tags and the like without the hassle of getting paint under your fingernails / ruining your best jeans on a drainpipe fixing nail. It's got to be rubbish, right?

Someone doesn't like it....
