Every city has its own unique folklore. Knowing this folklore is rather privileged information that one only learns through spending a good deal of time in the area. Learning about a city through urban legends gives a much more personal vision of a place. Not a new idea and certainly not a fading idea, urban legends are here to stay. What keeps folklore alive is the people who talk about it. Folklore lives through communication; it is like the heartbeat of a place. I chose to share my London folklore findings through visuals in hopes of continuing their stories and giving them a face to remember them by.
