I visited this with 3 young children and a couple of art snobs. All of us were wowed by this engaging and brilliantly realised art installation come visitor attraction by ex KLF man and burner of a million quid Jimmy Cauty. The exhibit is a massive post apocalyptic world made in miniature, with flashing lights, and thousands of tiny policemen in some kind of existential hell. It's not all doom and gloom though. Loads of jokes in the detail. It really is quite amazing. Go see it!…

Fresh from its outing to Banksy's Dismaland, Jimmy Cauty has brought his dystopian model village to London for a limited period (19th November 2015 - 28th Jan 2016) so that it can be seen by a wider audience. Situated in a railway arch a stone's trow from Tate Modern (Although Throwing stones at Tate Modern is prohibited and can result in a charge of Stuckism) for a mere £4 you can see Jimmy's intricately constructed vision of a blighted landscape inhabited only by the police and media where the only glimmer of light is the flashing blue lamps of the police vans and the searchlights of the Police Helicopters. Churches burn and MacDonalds lie in ruins. On my trip down to London this week I headed strait down to America Street and was made to feel relay welcome by the team who are on site helping to build Jimmy's next project; a massive construction site in the shape of the Tower of Babel. Jimmy was also on site as 'artist in residence' and was happy to chat with visitors. This is no cheap gimmick, the craftsmanship in creating the landscape is superb and even visitors who do not consider themselves as 'art lovers' will find something to enjoy. It's only £4 to get so if you are in the area make the effort to get down to America Street - For a limited time only!…
