Speaking of retired subway cars , guess what else you can do with them besides dump ‘em in the ocean? Apparently, they make pretty awesome art studios.

In the Shoreditch area of London, four subway cars can bee seen on the roof of a warehouse-turned-art-gallery. Auro Foxcroft, the guy behind the idea, even managed to get a sweet deal on the set of them: only £800 for all four.

It’s a win-win situation for everyone involved. First, Foxcroft got loads of free press from it. Second, the people who rent the cars for studio space got the steal of a lifetime, as they only pay $30 a month in rent. The people of London get to look at something innovative, exciting and new. Finally, because these cars are saved from a landfill, the environment wins too.
