This Family Owns the Lights of Hollywood ?
Step into the neon world of 'God's Own Junkyard', where words come to life in vibrant, dazzling and electrifying ways! ⚡️ Nestled in an unsuspecting warehouse in East London, this neon haven is more than just a workshop—it's a shrine to the art of imagination. The Bracey family have been lighting up London since the 1960s, creating signs for some of the most iconic movies like Batman (1989), Mission Impossible (1996), The Expendables (2010) and more! Artist and Creative Director, Marcus Bracey even had curry with Stanley Kubrick after a day of filming on set of Eyes Wide Shut (1999).
From crafting neon masterpieces for nightclubs to Hollywood blockbusters and the homes of A-list celebrities, 'God's Own Junkyard' is the ultimate destination for all things neon. And with the biggest neon collection in Europe, open for free to the public, you can only imagine their electricity bill…
