Graffiti Removal Project | London Borough of Camden
Table of Contents
Project Overview
A high profile retail location on Tottenham Court Road was targeted with graffiti across the main store frontage and an overhang promotional canvas. The vandalism was immediately visible to the public and posed a reputational concern due to the prominence of the site.
The client required a rapid, professional response that would fully remove the graffiti while maintaining safe public access in one of Central London’s busiest retail corridors.
Location
- Area: Tottenham Court Road, London
- Borough: London Borough of Camden
- Property Type: Commercial
- Client: Coca-Cola Great Britain
- Date Completed: December 2025
The Challenge
The graffiti affected multiple surface types, including the retail frontage and a large overhang promotional canvas. Each material required a different removal approach to avoid damage, colour fading, or distortion.
The site remained open to the public throughout the works, with constant pedestrian traffic. Safety, discretion, and speed were critical to avoid disruption to shoppers and neighbouring businesses.
Initial Assessment
Our team carried out an on site assessment to identify the materials involved and the type of graffiti applied. Test patches were completed on both the hard surfaces and the promotional canvas to confirm the safest and most effective removal techniques.
Access points, public movement, and visibility were reviewed to ensure the work could be completed without restricting entry to the premises.
Our Approach
A tailored commercial graffiti removal strategy was implemented, combining specialist cleaning methods for the retail frontage with a controlled, low impact treatment for the promotional canvas.
Protective measures were installed to safeguard passers by, with work sequenced to maintain continuous public access throughout the project.
The Removal Process
Step 1: Site preparation and protection of surrounding areas
Step 2: Targeted removal of graffiti from the retail frontage
Step 3: Careful treatment of the overhang promotional canvas to lift graffiti without damage
Step 4: Final inspection and detailing to ensure a consistent finish
Results
All graffiti was successfully removed from the affected areas, restoring the retail frontage and promotional canvas to a clean and professional appearance.
No damage, fading, or distortion was caused to the materials, and the work was completed efficiently within a live public environment.
Before and After
Before: Graffiti visible across store frontage and promotional canvas
After: All surfaces restored with original presentation preserved
Client Outcome
Coca-Cola Great Britain was able to maintain a strong brand presence at a key retail location without disruption to public access. The prompt removal reduced visual impact and prevented further attention or repeat vandalism.
