Camden's very own Banksy

Until recently I had no idea who Banksy was. I had never heard of him. In fact, even now I don't actually know who he is - nobody does - I just now know of him.

It turns out he's a pseudonymous England based graffiti artist, political activist, film director and painter and he's left his mark only a few hundred metres from my office:

So much so, that the home-owner has had his artwork covered with perspex to preserve it as the value of his (somewhat shabby) house has just sky-rocketed. Who knew having graffiti on your home could increase it's value?!?!
