Street Art In Leicester - Savoy Street Mural

An Art Deco cinema of the past provided inspiration for artists MONO and Richard Peacock when creating a mural on Leicester`s newest street, Savoy Street. The Savoy Theater, later known as the ABC, stood for 70 years on Belgrave Gate and was a popular location for many generations of Leicester residents. The venue was demolished by its owners on 2007 after laying empty for several years. Artists from Leicester based Graffwerk used playbills from the Savoy and two other long gone venues along Belgrave Gate, The Floral Hall and Palace Theater to create the mural which spans three buildings along the newly created Savoy Street designed for use by Busses, Taxis and Pedestrians and linking Belgrave Gate with Mansfield Street.
