Walking through East London - specifically in Shoreditch, Brick Lane and Spitalfields area, you will see a lot of talented street artists and many interesting artwork painted on street walls.
The top photo is of Usain Bolt, the gold medalist from the 2012 London Olympics. The reason why Usain Bolt is featured here is kind of an irony by the street artists to authorities. During the London 2012 Olympics, most of the street art in East London was taken down to make the area look nicer for all the incoming Olympics fans to East London. In irony, a street artist then painted Usain Bolt to call out what was going on during the Olympics to street art.
