Street artists work on their new pieces on a section of wall near Westbourne Park in north London on March 10. The group aimed to paint larger works that would look more attractive to residents than the "tags" and graffiti that were already on the walls.

    I like the way you refer to the artists as "street artists" rather than "graffiti artists". The work they are doing is authorized and invited, so it isn't graffiti.
