Painting the Town

One of the things that strikes anyone when they step off the tube at Camden Town is that it is in dire need of a new lick of paint. However I think someone took it a bit too literally over the Christmas period. According to the BBC, apparently some vandals broke in whilst the station was closed and did some redecorating. Indeed, the first thing I noticed on my return to work the other day was the station had apparently been renamed to Damden Town, complete with 'home of the damned' scrawled underneath it. Entire walls, adverts and even one of the display boards are now covered in a multitude of festive colours. My particular favourite is a message reading 'Happy Birthday Jesus' across one wall.

There's some photos of the carnage here:

Apparently they got in by walking down the tunnel. Now that's a long way, talk about dedication to your art!
