The street changes. But love is forever ❤️ I think this is one of the first bits of street art I ever spotted, went "That's cool, let me take a photo!" and shared with friends. Back in a snowy 2013, when Mount Pleasant was a bit more run down, the #MailRail was something urban explorers snuck into rather than a cleaned up tourist exhibition, and @thepostalmuseum was somewhere down the road. It took me *so* long to find this again… I had the original photo, I knew the area, but it just so happened that most of my wandering through this area has been in the evenings, when it's a lot harder to spot unlit graffiti two floors up. And then I happened past in the day, and love found me ❤️ #love #graffitiart #lovegraffiti #loveart #SeenIn2013 #MountPleasant #Clerkenwell #postalmuseum #London #LondonLife #ThisIsLondon #LoveLondon #ExploreLondon #MySecretLondon #DiscoverLondon #LondonDetails #LondonGuide #PrettyCityLondon #HiddenLondon #streetart #londonstreetart #UrbanArt #StreetArtLondon #StreetArtPhotography #graffiti https://www.instagram.com/p/CD7Xv3eFbSn/?igshid=9ba3nczsz9zq

Royal Mail Rail

An exciting trip with @wjg22 to @thepostalmuseum so we could ride on the small part of the Post Office Railway under Mount Pleasant sorting office that has been turned into a heritage attraction. The tunnel mouth on the left is the former eastbound main line to Liverpool Street station and the Eastern District sorting office in Shoreditch. #mailrail #postofficerailway #underground #railway #train #tunnel #narrowgauge (at The Postal Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuKCux2nome/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ftsynyy7yfc6

Went on an exciting trip with @wjg22 today - to @thepostalmuseum so we could ride on their underground railway! If you've not heard about it: it was a narrow-gauge underground railway that was built in 1927 and ran from Paddington to Shoreditch, solely carrying post, and with driverless remote-control trains. It's been disused for over 10 years, but recently a short section around the Mount Pleasant sorting office station was turned into a visitor attraction, with trains converted to carry passengers. Embarking and disembarking is done inside the former maintenance depot. #mailrail #postofficerailway #royalmail #underground #london #mountpleasant #narrowgauge (at The Postal Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuKB-12HlXm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ujhs9k0g8gl4
