Why take this tour?
East London is recognised worldwide for its iconic street art, with talented artists such as Banksy, Camille Walala, Mr Cenz, and Roa bringing their art to the streets of Shoreditch
As one of the creative capitals of the world, in London, you can find art not only in galleries and museums but spilling out into the streets. Exposed to the onslaught of urban life, London’s street art is beautifully ephemeral and transforming constantly. For every fresh new work that appears, a masterpiece from yesterday may be gone.
With your expert local guide, you will explore the ever-changing walls of the Shoreditch area – where shipping containers become shopping malls and train carriages are transformed into artist studios. From scrawled tags to stunning murals, stencilled stick men to giant intricate animals, during your tour you will discover the extent of the creativity poured into these masterpieces.
