Christmas, Walworth Road

Posted on by Patrick in Bleak, Christmas, Shit London Photo, South | 1 Comment

Christmas on Walworth Road seems to be defined by an overwhelming sense of impending doom…which is always fun at this time of year. Shit Londoner Jonathan Jasor sent in these two bleak photos and said….

“These shots are of a petrol station on Walworth Rd in Elephant & Castle. Quite why they put it up or who did I’m not sure, but you have to give it to whoever thought of converting an old petrol station into E&C’s own Winter Wonderland!
It’s in the middle of nowhere, it’s fenced up so no-one spoils the thousand of pounds invested, there’s the iconic Heygate estate in the background, maybe as a farewell tribute before they knock it down, it had music on the first time I walked past…seriously!

I’m sure it’s put all Elephantians in the mood for Xmas, I mean, who wouldn’t be moved?”

Crap Tree, Hampstead

Shit Londoner Leigh Wood sent this picture of possibly the strongest contender for the least impressive Christmas tree in London saying…

“Hi Patrick. Took this snap walking past the Hampstead Britannia Hotel. As it’s already known for being a shit hotel, maybe they were trying to keep brand consistency. I wonder how long they discussed how best to spend the 50p budget. Happy Christmas!”

Tinsel Dick, Kentish Town

As an artistic movement Knobism is highly versatile and allows artists to work in many mediums including, it seems, tinsel.

Shit Office Christmas Decorations

Woo hoo! It’s Christmas! The time when workers all over the city try to briefly alleviate the day to day drudgery of their desk jobs with some well placed, shiny but dangerously flammable decorations. Sounds like good, innocent fun right? Something that inspire a little festive cheer?

Wrong.

Take a look at this shit show.

Can your office top these? If so send me a photo at [email protected] or @shitlondon on Twitter.

The sorriest excuse for a xmas tree I think I’ve ever seen. Hanging baubles on it only draws attention to its diminutive stature.
