Belgian street artist Roa is famous for the amazingly detailed animal murals that he’s painted all over the world . Here are photos we shot of street art by Roa in East London during a tour with Street Art London.

Roa hit the headlines in the U.K. at the end of 2010 after his fans and residents in East London launched a campaign to protect his mural of a 3.65m rabbit.

The local council wanted to remove it despite the building’s owners’ fight to keep it. Fortunately people power triumphed and Hackney Council.
