UK - London - Leadenhall Market - Gods Own Junkyard pop-up - Coca Cola_DSC6737

My Website : Twitter : Facebook : Instagram : Photocrowd

I've always been a fan of neon so I jumped at the chance last year to visit the God's Own Junkyard pop-up 'Electric City' exhibition in the Victorian Leadenhall Market. Several of the empty units had been transfomed into displays featuring their neon designs, some of which had featured in films like 'Eyes Wide Shut' and 'Judge Dredd'.

By the way, we're holding our next London Flickr Group Photowalk on Sunday 20th February if you're interested in coming along. Click here for more details : www.flickr.com/groups/londonflickrgroup/discuss/721577219...

From the Leadenhall Market website, "Electric City is part of an exciting programme of events and activities to celebrate the full reopening of Leadenhall Market’s 35 boutique retailers, bars, restaurants and cafes after restrictions on indoor dining lift in line with step three of the government’s lockdown roadmap on no sooner than May 17th.

While Gods Own Junkyard’s Walthamstow paradise and Rolling Scones Cafe will continue to host their entire archive of neon and vintage signs, Electric City will allow them to bring out some of the key pieces to chart their own place within movie history.

Although the movie signs are not for sale, a walk-in installation and information hub will be open to the public on Wednesdays to Saturdays, with selected pieces available to purchase online via a Shopify site with item codes for virtual buyers. Further exciting events including guided tours and talks will also be announced in June and July, once government restrictions are fully relaxed from no sooner than 21st June.

Since founder and neon artist Chris Bracey passed away in 2014, Gods Own Junkyard has been in the care of his wife Linda and sons Mathew and Marcus, all neon makers and designers. They are delighted that the Leadenhall Market project has given them an opportunity to spotlight some of these iconic signs as a way of reflecting on their own history, in addition to their much-discussed Soho nostalgia."
