If you’re a fan of The Simpsons, quirky street art, or just love discovering the unexpected in London, then I’ve got a hidden gem for you! Tucked away on the side of The Old Eagle Pub in Camden is a mural that might just be the most interactive piece of street art in the city.
Yep, you read that right—you can actually sit on it!
The Simpsons Couch… But Make It London
Picture this: You’re strolling through Camden, soaking in the buzzing atmosphere, when suddenly, you spot a giant Simpsons mural. At first, it looks like any other fun street art—until you notice something genius. The artwork is painted around a conveniently placed electrical box, turning it into the famous Simpsons couch.
That’s right! Visitors can actually climb up and take a seat with Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie (well, sort of). Just a heads-up, though—this isn’t exactly a plush velvet sofa, so if your glutes aren’t up to the challenge, you might feel the impact. Consider yourself warned! 😆
Why You Need to Visit
Perfect Photo Opportunity 📸 – If you love finding unique backdrops for Instagram, this one is a winner. Camden’s already full of character, but this? Next-level cool.
Quirky Street Art 🎨 – London is packed with street art, but functional street art? That’s a rare find.
A Simpsons Fan’s Dream 🤩 – If you grew up watching The Simpsons (or still do—no judgment here), this is a must-see.
Where to Find It
📍 Location: The mural is painted on the side of The Old Eagle Pub, right in Camden.
🕒 Best Time to Visit: Daytime for the best lighting (and to actually see what you're climbing onto).
⚠️ Pro Tip: If you're attempting to sit on the couch, do a quick safety test first—London’s sidewalks are not as soft as Springfield’s carpets!
This quirky little gem is yet another reminder of why I love exploring London—there’s always something fun, unexpected, and a little bit weird waiting to be discovered. So next time you're in Camden, go find this mural, take a seat (if you're brave enough), and embrace your inner cartoon character.
