London’s favourite hidden gem! God’s Own Junkyard 🌼

#londontravel God’s Own Junkyard in Walthamstow is a vibrant, otherworldly haven that must be seen to be believed. Tucked away in an industrial estate, this dazzling gallery of neon art is a feast for the eyes and a celebration of creativity, making it one of London’s most unique and Instagram-worthy destinations. The space is packed with hundreds of neon signs, vintage advertising lights, and custom art pieces, all created by the late Chris Bracey, a legendary neon artist. The kaleidoscope of colors and designs is overwhelming in the best way, ranging from retro movie signs to quirky phrases and religious iconography. Each piece tells a story, reflecting decades of craftsmanship and artistry. The atmosphere is electric yet welcoming, with a café onsite offering coffee, cakes, and light bites to enjoy while soaking in the neon glow. The venue often hosts events, making it a cultural hotspot as well as a visual marvel. Whether you’re a photographer, an art lover, or just someone looking for a unique day out, God’s Own Junkyard is an unforgettable experience. It’s a reminder that art can be fun, bold, and unapologetically bright, tucked away in one of London’s most creative corners.
