I believe I've mentioned it before, but there is a foot bridge
over the District line near me that seems to be a designated
location for people to do graffiti, and the people who've done
things there really do have talent (I should probably take some
photos of it actually).

There's a bridge/fence just east(?) of Bromley-by-Bow that's very
attractive.

This one is between Plaistow and West Ham. The graffiti isn't actually
visible from the trains or station platforms (the bridge is). It's on
the walls on either side of the bridge and is only visible while
crossing the bridge. The bridge carries the greenway and sewer over the
District line and is about a few minute's walk away from the Upper Road
entrance to the Greenway.

A thing that 'is' visible from the District Line is the wall between
Bromley-by-Bow and West Ham by the former Big Brother house [is it Three
Mills Studios?]

This used to be plain brick and used to receive the attention of graffiti
sprayers.

A year or so ago it was attractively painted, presumably by the studios,
with a series of pictures in an imitation film format.

It is sad to see that the sprayers have almost completely obliterated
with their crappy tags what actually was proper art.
