God's Own Junkyard
About

God’s Own Junkyard in Walthamstow is a dazzling explosion of neon art, vintage signage, and cinematic history, tucked inside an unassuming warehouse in East London. Founded by the late Chris Bracey—dubbed the “Neon Man”—this vibrant space showcases decades of his work, from Soho’s provocative signs to Hollywood film props created for directors like Stanley Kubrick and Tim Burton2. The gallery is a kaleidoscope of colour and creativity, filled with glowing slogans, religious statues, disco balls, and salvaged curiosities. Visitors can wander through the maze of lights, discovering everything from retro fairground pieces to bespoke artworks made from reclaimed materials. More than just a visual feast, God’s Own Junkyard also houses The Rolling Scones café, offering a quirky spot to relax amid the glow. Now run by Bracey’s family, the space continues to celebrate his legacy, making it one of London’s most unique and photogenic cultural destinations.
