Overview

About

Welcome to Shoreditch, London's ultimate playground for street art, creativity, rebellion and colour. This private tour takes you down hidden alleyways, graffiti covered streets and vibrant corners where urban art lives and breathes, constantly changing, bold and impossible to ignore. There are no glass cases or velvet ropes here, just art on the walls, shutters and streets, where politics, pop culture and pure imagination collide. With a guide dedicated entirely to your group, you can slow down, ask questions and really take in the art at your own pace.

What you'll do

Get to know alternative London on a private street art and graffiti tour of Shoreditch, where the walls themselves are the canvas. Starting outside Shoreditch High Street Station, your guide will take you through Shoreditch, Brick Lane and Spitalfields, uncovering how centuries of immigration, poverty and art have shaped a neighbourhood that has always been home to outsiders, dreamers and rule breakers.

As a private booking, your guide is dedicated entirely to your group, so you can spend as long as you like at each piece, ask questions along the way, and shape the walk around what interests you most. Along the route you will spot stencils, murals, paste ups, stickers, sculptures and massive spray painted masterpieces by legends including Banksy, Shepard Fairey, ROA, Stik, Mr Cenz, Fanakapan, Otto Schade, Zabou and Dale Grimshaw.

Street art is never just pretty pictures. It is a reflection of the lives, struggles and perspectives of the people who create it, and the artists use the streets to speak truths, challenge norms and make their voices heard. Your guide will bring these stories to life, giving you real insight into the ideas and passions behind this ever evolving art form.

This private tour is ideal for art lovers, photographers, curious travellers and anyone looking for an alternative side of London, without sharing their guide with strangers.
