Back in 1998, The [London Police](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/piranha-tank) art collective started drawing their iconic bobble-stick-men on walls and streets across Europe. Now the famous crew is having an exhibition on the occasion of their 10 year anniversary.

The exhibition is called ‘10 Years On The Circle Line’ and is on at the StolenSpace Gallery on Brick Lane, London. This should be a brilliant view of the core members’ work and of the spirit of [street art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1) as movement. The show will be on from 9th April – 26th April 2009.
