Alternative London Street Art Tour

What You’ll See & Learn

• Dive into the rich history of London street art, from classic graffiti to large-scale murals and tiny hidden sculptures you wouldn’t spot on your own.

• Walk through vibrant Shoreditch and Brick Lane, two of the most creative and culturally dynamic parts of London.

• Hear stories and inspirations behind pieces by world-renowned artists such as ROA, Shepard Fairey / Obey, Invader, C215 Phlegm, Vhils, Connor Harrington, Stik and maybe even a Banksy or two*

• Our guides are artists and creatives who are deeply embedded in the local art community. Because the route changes regularly, every tour feels fresh.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 *there are a couple of Banksy works in the area but these are on private property which is sometimes closed off. If these aren’t covered on your tour, just ask your guide where to find Banksy art in London. You can see works by Banksy that can’t be reached by foot on our Bike Tours

FAQs

• Do we ever cancel due to rain?
  Rarely. The weather in London is changeable, so we recommend dressing appropriately.

• Can I see Banksy’s work?
  Possibly! There are a couple of old Banksy pieces in Shoreditch — ask your guide, and they’ll show you where to find them.

• Can I do a self-guided London Street Art Tour?                                                                                                                                          If you’re wondering where to find the best street art in London you will find it in the East End. However we do recommend having a guide as some of the best pieces are easy to walk past or difficult to find on your own.
