Overview of your London tour:

You've seen classic London - now you're looking for something a bit more cool? Where locals hang out? Come east! This history-rich area is my backyard. You can me in the ToursByLocals trailer, enjoying the most diverse part of the city. History meets contemporary culture with an internationally-recognized art scene with world-class street art. In super-hip Shoreditch, Spitalfields and Brick Lane, you'll see the cream of global street artists, some of whom I know. There are lots of interesting boutiques, vintage fashion stores, quirky pubs, and of course centuries of London stories to savour. Come for weekend markets or midweek if you prefer a quieter tour. The streets are rich in history and the alleyways are living galleries - come and see an incredible range of contemporary art and hear some tall stories about the various characters behind this constantly changing world. It's a great place to linger afterward over a coffee while you people-watch. Suitable for 'cool kids' of all ages!

Your London tour itinerary

I usually meet people at Liverpool Street station. We can either stick to the main East London street art hot spots around nearby Shoreditch and Brick Lane, or we can jump on a train trip to go a little off the beaten track to the 'next Shoreditch' in Hackney Wick. You can see Shoreditch in depth, or mix up a shorter look with Dalston and the once-unknown Hackney Wick - all street art hotspots. The usual Shoreditch tour takes us through some medieval City of London history and then into the back streets where the cool stuff is to be found. We'll stop off at some street art; see an area rich in social history and ethnic diversity; we'll visit an unofficial outdoor public gallery hidden away; we'll stroll the main drag where the cool kids from all over the world hang out and I'll show you some funky stores and street food as we take in the vibe and all the interesting elements that make this a popular spot for the lover of arts and culture. There'll also be a brief artisenal chocolate tasting too.
