Supported and documented by local factory owner, Dean Sunshine,  the lane is a canvas for some of the best domestic and international street artists. The artworks are updated occasionally and in the last few weeks a new piece from Jimmy C has contemplated itself onto the walls. This celestial, orbital, spherical dreamscape almost makes you question your place in the universe.

The infamous ‘karma sutra burger’ is alas no more, however UK artist and creator of urban aesthetics FIN DAC has created this awe-inspiring mural called ‘Wajahbaru’ in its place. Make sure to check out the beading, as it is painstakingly detailed and extremely pleasing to the eye.
