About this activity

Shoreditch used to be one of London's roughest corners. Now it's home to some of the most photographed streets in Europe, and the transformation happened one wall at a time.

This walk takes you through the murals, the stencils, and the stories behind them, from world famous names to brand new local artists transforming the area today.

This is a private tour, just your group and a local guide who actually knows this scene, not a script read off a laminated card. Expect honest opinions on what counts as real street art, plus the odd surprise, our guides have bumped into working artists mid tour more than once.

This neighbourhood is also a magnet for fashion, food, and design, so if anyone in your group is more into trainers and streetwear than gallery walls, there's plenty for them too.

Two hours, entirely on foot, shaped around whatever your group wants more of.

Good for: families, friend groups, art lovers, and travellers who want to discover London off the beaten path.

Home to the largest mural in London, a genuine showstopper and one of the best photo opportunities on the whole walk.
Spitalfields Market E1

15 min

Passing by

The "hipster" end of London, but there's more to it than that. Learn how one of the roughest, most overlooked corners of the city became one of its most creative, one mural at a time.
Brick Lane

20 min

One of the most famous streets in the area, home to vintage shops, market stalls, and some of London's best street food. Also a canvas for some of the boldest work you'll see all tour.
The Old Truman Brewery

15 min

A former Victorian brewery turned creative hub, home to shops, galleries, and street food. Look out for the Banksy car tucked away in Ely's Yard, plus pieces from Shepard Fairey and Ronzo along the way.
