Somebody thought this was a good idea.

Brixton is a area of London with a long cultural and political history (even if it is pretty gentrified right now as well). So when the McDonald’s restaurant on Brixton Road got refurbished, how do you think they celebrated this history?
Er, with some fake graffiti.
Yeah, they made the place look the toilets in a shitty pub. Apparently they’ve done a similar thing in restaurants in Brighton, Leicester and Northampton and got a “great reception”, but people in Brixton were not impressed.
How embarrassing that they think it’s cool to put fake graffiti inside a mcdonalds just because it’s in Brixton 😂

A McDonald’s spokesperson told LBC: “With self-order kiosks and free-to-use tablets, the refreshed Brixton store has digital innovation at its heart and provides customers with more choice in how they order and pay. We look forward to hearing what local residents think of their new McDonald’s.”
