Sudbury Hill

Sudbury Hill station. This station on the Chiltern Line near Wembley was pretty much abandoned although a couple of trains stopped there in the rush hours. There were no staff and the station consisted of 2 platforms, an underpass & a wall, so it was pretty easy to get away with painting it.

Poplar Grove - Wembley

Hall of fame in Wembley that was mostly used by Big Met writers. It sat next to a river which had Neasden depot nearby. It wasn't legal so people would quite often get chased, hence a number of unfinished pieces being photographed.
