What You Will Do
Explore East London, recognised worldwide for its iconic street art scene, with talented local and international artists such as Banksy, Camille Walala, Mr Cenz, and Roa who have brought their art to the streets of Shoreditch.
On this private street art tour, you will:
- Experience the dynamism and creative edge of East London’s street art and graffiti;
- Explore the hidden Banksy Street Artworks in Shoreditch;
- Learn about the history of the area and the rise of the artistic subculture;
- Explore the differences between street art and graffiti;
- Discover the diversity of fashion, art and food along the famous Brick Lane;
- Find the best gourmet coffee, vintage clothing, and local curry houses;
- Soak up the creative atmosphere of East London.
London’s street art is beautifully ephemeral and transforming constantly. For every fresh new work that appears, a masterpiece from yesterday may be gone, but there’s no better way for you to discover this dynamic, on-the-pulse scene than by taking a guided tour through East London, the street art mecca of the city.
With your expert tour guide, you will explore the ever-changing walls of the Shoreditch area – where shipping containers become shopping malls and train carriages are transformed into artist studios. The favourite haunt of hipsters, Shoreditch is also a veritable treasure trove of street art.
From scrawled tags to stunning murals, stencilled stick men to giant intricate animals, immerse yourself in this vibrant sea of creativity. Sometimes political, often humorous, and always imaginative, your time on this art tour will transform the way you view scribbles along walls in every city.
East London – especially Brick Lane – is synonymous with the subculture, street art and graffiti. It is also amazing for foodies, fashionistas, and bargain hunters.
As you walk along Brick Lane and its off-shoot streets with your private guide, you’ll learn all about the history of Spitalfields Market, Whitechapel and Shoreditch.
