Anerley Retentive by Omen
Regular visitors to Anerley will be charmed by its position adjacent to Crystal Palace park, complete with its anatomically incorrect dinosaurs (put there by a creationist nut, FYI) and its leafy streets replete with good Victorian housing stock. But that’s not where Omen plies his trade – this popular artist instead chooses the dogshit strewn high street, quite literally one of the most depressing parades in modern-day London. Because of the dog shit. What lifts it back into honeymoon territory is Omen’s fantastic street art. He simultaneously reps the A to the Y with bravado, but shows a chink of a sensitive side by spelling lots of its wrong. Obviously ‘eva’ is an accepted urban version of ‘ever’ and even Lynne Truss ain’t gonna step to the popular abbreviation that is ’cause’. But not even a Das Efx b-side would attempt to pass ‘Dnt’ off as ‘don’t’ – something Omen pulls off with stunning insouciance. And there are two e’s in Anerley. The total effect is of a talented, urbane artist passing himself off as a Reebok-clad street rat making idle rape threats to commuters on their way home. He even has the foresight and temerity to append ‘bang bang’ to the end, to depict the threats to the traditional South East London way of life. Either that or it was added by somebody who wants to shoot him. We don’t know. We’re keeping well out if it, we always walk a bit quicker past that bit…

I went out with a girl who lived in Anerley. I once asked her if she liked it ‘in Anerley’. She said yes, so I stuck it in her arse. She asked me to marry her.
