Stroll down Hoe Street in Walthamstow this month and in the estate agents’ windows you’ll find poems amongst the properties.
We blogged about The Walthamstow Poetry Trail which is bringing poetry to the streets as part of the E17 Art Trail (until September 16) before the summer but now it is all and running and has proved to be a big success for all concerned.
Simon Tilsiter, Director of Strettons and a sponsor of the Walthamstow Poetry and E17 Trail said: “The words of 10cc ‘Art for art’s sake, Money for Gods sake’ might be true in the sometimes surreal art investment market but the E17 Art Trail has brought a breath of fresh air to the local community and shown to those visiting the borough for the first time, perhaps on their way to the Olympic Games, the recently refurbished William Morris museum or the longest street market in Europe, that there is more to E17 than the images often presented of a poor, run down no go area on the east side of London.
