Street Art has been described as the most important artistic movement of the 21st Century, but it actually dates back thousands of years. If you're a lover of art and culture then, yes, go to the National Gallery, go to the Tate Modern, and see the masterpieces created by the most famous artists over the last 400 years, but then join us on our Free Street Art Tour and see what is happening at the grassroots level by talented street artists today. The work is beautiful, ever-changing and thought provoking.

 

But Street Art is not just pretty pictures, these pieces of art are challenging and political, and they tell the story of the struggles of the working classes in Britain over the last hundred years.

On our Street Art walking tour, you’ll step back in time, and see how immigration into Brick Lane and the surrounding area has transformed Shoreditch from the poorest part of London, home to Jack the Ripper’s victims, to becoming one of the must-see boroughs of the capital, home to pop up bars and shops, and more vintage clothes stores than you’ll believe.

Our Street Art & Graffiti tour of Shoreditch is a fascinating insight into one of the fastest-growing art movements of our time, exploring a part of London that is less visited but constantly changing and huge on the street art scene. Our Street Art Tour Guides are not only knowledgeable about the art you’ll see, with an understanding of the techniques used to create the work, but, most importantly, they love it, so why not join them for a jaunt through the streets of the East End, where creativity and self expression is on every corner.

The art we see during the Street Art & Graffiti Tour is constantly changing, sometimes before our very eyes, so we cannot promise which pieces we will see each time we set off, but we can assure you that our expert guides will ensure you see a collection of the most established and exciting artists currently on show.
