Mono Monday: Fix Yourself a Brake, Honey

Sem Cafe, Brixton

This is where London cabbies come to relax, have a cuppa tea and a full English, maybe, while their engines are being tinkered with in the garages and workshops underneath the railway arches at Loughborough Junction, Brixton.

The street art that covers the cafe was funded by crowd sourcing and created by 'public art mural come community recipe specialists’ Gourmandizing. The two founders met with Sem's daughter to discuss plans for the mural and she shared with them her mother's Baklava recipe. The vital ingredients, and phrases from that meeting, were translated into properly cool typography and images which now adorn Sem's walls.

'Memories are served daily
In glowing comfort
Inviting family faves.
Stir them lovingly'
