Hello ladies and gents this is the Viking telling you that today we are talking about
This Neon Wonderland Is Guaranteed To Light Up Your Life • God’s Own Junkyard
If you’ve been searching for something to brighten up your home, look no further. God’s Own Junkyard is a psychedelic paradise of neon lights and vintage signs, all hidden inside an unassuming warehouse in deepest darkest Walthamstow.
The story of God’s Own Junkyard is a fascinating one. Late owner Chris Bracey, the ‘Neon Man’, got his start by making signs for Soho’s strip clubs and brothels. Soon, his talents were spotted by Hollywood, and he began fashioning props for directors such as Stanley Kubrick, Tim Burton, and Christopher Nolan.
It isn’t just former film props littering the place, however. Religious statues, disco balls, and retro signs adorn the walls, or simply in piles on the floor. Seriously, there are thousands of signs crammed in here. You can spend hours peeking and prying at the range on offer. Thankfully, if you get hungry, Gods Own Junkyard operate their own on-site café, called The Rolling Scone
And as always have a chilled day from the Viking
