- Step into the neon world of 'God's Own Junkyard', where words come to life in vibrant, dazzling and electrifying ways! ⚡️ Nestled in an unsuspecting warehouse in East London, this neon haven is more than just a workshop-it's a shrine to the art of imagination. The Bracey family have been lighting up London since the 1960s, creating signs for some of the most iconic movies like Batman (1989), Mission Impossible (1996), The Expendables (2010) and more! Artist and Creative Director, Marcus Bracey even had curry with Stanley Kubrick after a day of filming on set of Eyes Wide Shut (1999).
From crafting neon masterpieces for nightclubs to Hollywood blockbusters and the homes of A-list celebrities, 'God's Own Junkyard' is the ultimate destination for all things neon. And with the biggest neon collection in Europe, open for free to the public, you can only imagine their electricity bill…

If you could create your own neon masterpiece, what would it look like? 👀⚡👇
Maybe a cup of coffee or smth I’m not sure
@@godbro.Hoi
I love the old mobile gas flying horse so some variation of a flying horse or dragon. Maybe a chimera. 😉
@@henrythebananaboy hoi
Transformers autobot symbol!
Dang the electricity bill ⚡️
Neon signs are classic retro objects that speaks “future!” Out loud to me. Its colors are alluring to the point of hypnotic. I love neon signs.
“…it was proper art.” Yes, yes it certainly is. 👍
I love this kind of stuff
That’s very cool!
These blokes have incredible voices. Sounds like Delvin from Skyrim. I want this guy to tell me to personally "fook off mate"
Cool job
Dang the first few second when the lights are flickering/turned on looks like it came out of a video game like Borderlands! Super cool
GBS Nice 🚨💡🚨
BABE WAKE UP GREAT BIG STORY POSTED
We are laughing so much at this comment! 😂
@@GreatBigStory oh reeeeaally
great big story is so comfy man.
I adore neon! My grandfather owned a bar and when he retired, he took the neon beer signs with him...my mom ended up getting several of them. My parents also got a HUGE Margaritaville sign as well. That one sadly broke so it needs to be repaired...but god only knows how expensive that would be.
Anyways, I've always loved neon ever since I was little and I was staring at the neon beer signs in my grandparents basement lol. They really are more then just signs...they are 100% pieces of art. I'd love to get a custom made piece...but again who knows how expensive that would end up being.
I'm a Michael Keaton Batman fan and this surprise me. It's so freaking cool 🤩
When you're scared but you still do it anyway, that's brave.
Went there in 2019 still talk about it now
The little princess is back
If it hadn't for the closed space, this place would have been a perfect place for sleepover, if y'all think about it.
Ever seen the made-for-TV movie "The Neon Ceiling"? One of my fondest childhood memories. Lee Remick and Gig Young and the little girl who played Violet Beauregard, the gum-chewing little girl who turned into a giant blueberry in the Gene Wilder classic "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Family"....I liked it not just because of the neon signs but also because the little girl got to drive a truck all alone, her character's name was the same as mine, and her mom and her dad had split up....and the music when Gig Young shows the little broken family the ceiling was fantastic....

Pretty...
They're back.
They have been back for a while.😝
Ok so I need a story explaining why you guys always use the ice cream at the end of each video
i would reccomend they don't show off that top of the pops sign. can't imagine anything but unspeakable things happened beneath that with ol' uncle jimmy.
My home be like:
Christopher ReeveS never played Superman even thoght myself and millions of others remember him.
In this timeline it has always been
Christopher Reeve with no S.
Eminem remembers ReeveS.
Robing Williams fremembers his good friend Christopher ReeveS.
It is Ok,
Everyone is Mandela Effected.
Jesus is the truth! John 3:16 - "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
What a waste of electricity in a world of depleting resources.
