Description

Alternative, trendy, and unique, London's East End is one of the most vibrant areas in town! Our street art guides have been sharing this incredible neighbourhood with our visitors for well over a decade and are ready to share it with you.

Henage St: Hidden away are two huge pieces that take up a whole building wall: one is Phlegm with his signature slim creatures and the other is FanakaPan, famous for his silver balloons.

Brick Lane: Sometimes you need at least two different points of view to fully appreciate a work of art. Luckily, on this street there's plenty of space to find the right angle!

7 Stars Yard: This narrow yard may be scary, but don't be afraid, we have a lot to show you in this space! Perhaps you'll be the 8th star and leave your own creation behind!

Princelet St: This work by Stik is dedicated to the Muslim community and shows their long lasting connection with the area. It's been defaced a few times, but it's always been repainted, showing its resilience.

Hanbury St: While walking along Brick Lane you will notice a huge bird on one of the side streets - go closer to discover even more!

Dray Walk: In a few places around Brick Lane you will notice broccoli. Some of them are quite realistic but many come in all the colours of the rainbow. Now the artist who started the trend has his own gallery.

Allen Gardens: Here you are surrounded by many walls full of graffiti. Some of them change very often so when you are here make sure to take some photos as you might be the last person to see them before they get covered by something new!

Brick Lane: Some walls are collaborations of two or more artists. As we leave the park look up for the number 5, you will instantly recognise the artist responsible for this part of the wall and find out about some new ones.

Ebor St: Here we will find some large format adverts painted by graffiti artists but also many smaller pieces by Neon. Also, there is work here by Ben Eine with his big, bold letters.

Rivington St 1: No Street Art Tour in London would be complete without Banksy's work! We have a secret place where we can show you some.

Rivington St 2: French artist Thierry Noir is best known for his groundbreaking work on the Berlin Wall in the 1980s, but he's also left his mark on London streets.

art'otel: An old Banksy is now part of a new, fancy hotel, but you don't have to book a room to see it.

New Inn Broadway: Here you might be surprised to suddenly bump into Shakespeare. This is the location of his Curtain Theatre and a beautiful Romeo and Juliet art piece is nearby. Also, different colour pallets, different styles, even a small policeman, all combine perfectly in a one of a kind graffiti wallpaper.

Shoreditch High St: Finally, you'll hear one last story about the Graffiti Wars. It's almost as serious as it sounds, but at least some wonderful art came out of it!
