Graffiti on our own property

For example, underpasses, buildings, parks and other public areas (unless owned by Transport for London).

We will remove graffiti within 10 working days once reported. 

If the graffiti is racist, offensive or abusive graffiti we will remove it within 1 working day.

Graffiti on private property

Businesses and shops are responsible for removing graffiti from their own property.

We will not remove graffiti found on:

• Private properties
  Unless it is racist, offensive or abusive
• Railway property that is inaccessible without trespassing
  This should instead be reported to Network Rail by calling 0845 711 4141 or reporting online using their Community and Support website page
• Street utility boxes
  This is the responsibility of the relevant telecom or electricity company. If you are not sure who owns it and there is no contact details available, you will find that most boxes have a manhole cover in front of them that will show the name of the company that owns the box. You can then report this directly to the company to remove. 
• Bus shelter
  This can be reported using the Transport for London website
• Phone box
  This can be reportedusing the BT website

Tips for preventing graffiti

• think about using anti-graffiti paint
• plant shrubs or climbers next to walls and fences if possible
