London Street Prints is a charity project inspired by all things London this year - the Queen's Jubilee, sport and the 2012 Games. The project was set up earlier this year by two friends, Suzanne Riley and Ursula Hitz. A3 giclee prints of all the designs are for sale at £49 each, with all proceeds (over £30 per print) going to Broadway Homelessness & Support.
