Street Art: everything can be a great business

Leave a reply

When you are working in London, it can be hard to stop and see what is happening. Everything is fast and busy; London is an explosion of colours and activities, new businesses and arts. Everywhere, infact, there are museums, galleries and installations; some of which have existed for ages and some are just temporary. One of the most important features of this city is its great attention to Art. Londoners from every age, race,
and class are interested into the products of human creativity.

After all, business and art are the results of the same human need: expressing yourself. And art can be a business, a very profitable business. An example? Street art! For a long while, the question has been: is graffiti art or crime? Now it is: how can we use it to create a better city? And, how much does it cost? Because graffiti is undeniably the pop art of the new millennium. Banksy is the most representative example of the great attention to every kind of art in London, moreover the new and the collateral one. This anonymous British graffiti artist is now a legend able to convert the urban landscape with his graffiti. And behind him a new rich business is growing.

When you are walking around London you can’t miss a moment, not an inch! Everywhere is full of new ideas and you can see amazing things and revolutionary models for your own activity.

The best ways to get around London

Hi there! Today is another lovely sunny day. Incredible?! No, this is London!

And one of the most important things when you come to work in London is to know how to get around the city. There are three major airports (Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted) and two smaller (Luton, and London City) and a number of central mainline stations (London Waterloo, London Victoria, London Bridge, London Liverpool Street, London Paddington, London Kings Cross, London St Pancras, London Euston, London Fenchurch Street, London Cannon Street and London Charing Cross).

You can arrive by plane, train or coach and be sure to be able to travel around London by Tube, DLR, Tram and Bus. The public transport website can help you to plan your movement up and down the City, discovering the best solution and the timing. A platoon of cabs are on the road and to stop one of them all you have to do is to lift your hand. There are also cabs from private companies, minivans and limousines. The most important thing is to have the right number to call to go everywhere.

London has an area of 609 sq mi (1,577.3 km²), divided in 32 boroughs: moving around can be a nightmare without a plan or an AZ Map! Also with sunny day like today.
