God's own junkyard ✨

What if I told you that I have personally been to God's own junkyard? 😉 This is a unique place for neon-art lovers and all things funky in Walthamstow, East London. It is surrounded by drink & food venues, so it is the perfect spot to visit. Fabulously fluorescent, Gods Own Junkyard is a warehouse stuffed to the rafters with neon film props, vintage signs, and all sorts of groovy decorations. The story of God’s Own Junkyard is a fascinating one. Late owner Chris Bracey, the ‘Neon Man’, got his start by making signs for Soho’s strip clubs and brothels. Soon, his talents were spotted by Hollywood, and he began fashioning props for directors such as Stanley Kubrick, Tim Burton, and Christopher Nolan. You can spend hours peeking and prying at the range on offer. Thankfully, if you get hungry, Gods Own Junkyard operate their own on-site café, called The Rolling Scones, which is open for outdoor table service. Alternatively, Wild Card Brewery’s on-site bar is just across the yard, and brilliant gin bar Mother’s Ruin is found next door. #tripblazers
