Random Graffito

A lifesize stencil of Jack the Ripper in the heart of his former stomping ground. The stark silhouette managed to scare the bejesus out of some passers-by, hugging the wall of Parliament Court as one approaches from Artillary Passage. The Ripper would have known these alleys well, and commited his most gruesome murder on the next block.

Judging from Flickr, this one's been up since early August, but no one seems to know who's behind it. Whoever stenciled this, it's an excellent example of how graffiti can work with, and add to, the character of an area. Don't you agree?
