I love seeing Space Invaders (http://www.space-invaders.com/) around the city. I'm on a lifetime mission of finding as many as I can. And I think I've seen about 25. But can you believe that there are suppose to be 100 around London?! Though I'm sure plenty of them have been removed.

One of my favorite Invaders is at 366 Gray's Inn Road, right below the street sign. It's fashioned to look like a British flag.

There are tons of Invaders in the SoHo and in Covent Garden, but are there any around that you think go less noticed? Where are your favorite space invaders?

Yeah he's awesome, there used to be one outside the Old Street tube station and one night I was coming home and these two guys had a ladder, one was holding the ladder and the other was at the top of it trying to saw the piece of the wall - they seemed to have got halfway which I was quite impressed by but they obviously stopped as it remained there for ages afters.

I just went to Paris and they had some awesome ones too.

I'm been trying to keep an organized Google Map of the Invaders in London since June and already 2 or 3 that I cataloged are no longer there. I've seen a couple in Paris and I've photographed most of the ones he's done in Barcelona. I hope he gets to San Francisco soon.

I'm hooked on the guy! Stumbled across a few in Amsterdam did a little research and found out that he's invaded several countries, the latest being India and Katmandu. I believe that each one has a point value associated with it which you accumulate for every spotting. He sells DIY invasion kits that are hard to come buy, have a bid on eBay right now... fingers crossed.

Ironically I discovered one last night at 120 Curtain Road, EC2A 3PJ, tried to take a photo, but my phone sucks.
