Overview of your London tour:

London's Street Art scene is one of the world's best - let's get out onto the streets of the East End and explore the beautiful, the controversial, the ugly, and the hilarious. This is one of the best ways to truly get off the beaten track and learn all about the history, culture, and people of the East End. Street art was one of the first tours I ever learned to give in London, more than ten years ago! I have a real passion for this art form, and I can't wait to share it with you. This is one of the coolest neighbourhoods in London, and we'll explore small courtyards, car parks, and railway arches to get to the heart of what makes it so special. We'll explore Brick Lane, Spitalfields, and Shoreditch.

Your London tour itinerary

We'll start at Spitalfields Market and talk briefly about the history of the East End and the City - and their differences in graffiti laws. Then, we'll cross over into the Borough of Tower Hamlets and start to see paste-ups, sculptures, tags, murals, slaps, throw-ups, and so much more. Some of the things we'll see and discuss include: - The laws around street art and graffiti in London, and how they differ from other cities - The history of graffiti as an urban, Black art form, and some of the early graffiti legends - What is the difference between street art and graffiti? - How to spot street art "hidden in plain sight" - How long does street art last? - Why do murals get covered in tags? - Huge 4-story murals, tiny pieces the size of a penny - and everything in between - Some of the most famous names globally, including Mr Cenz, Dreph, Stik, Banksy, Martin Ron, ROA, Space Invader, Shepard Fairey, Fanakapan, and AKAJimmyC You'll finish your tour with a deep understanding of this art form.
