Street Art Free Tour: Shoreditch, Banksy & Hidden Gems
♡ Save
Explore a world where every wall is a canvas, primed and ready to be sprayed, stenciled, and painted. In this ever-changing area, only the very best art can stand the test of time.
Discover one of London’s most creative neighbourhoods on our Free Street Art Walking Tour of Shoreditch. Starting outside Shoreditch High Street Station, this guided walk explores the art, history, immigration, and gentrification that shaped Brick Lane and the surrounding area.
See a wide range of street art styles like murals, stencils, stickers, sculptures, and spray art, with works by world-famous artists, including: Banksy, Shepard Fairey, Roa, Fanakapan, Mr Cenz, Otto Schade, Dreph, Zabou Dale Grimshaw
Along the way, learn how immigration transformed Shoreditch from one of London’s poorest districts into a global creative hub, and how street art reflects political protest, class struggle, and urban change. We also explore key locations such as Brick Lane, Spitalfields Market, the Old Truman Brewery, and the history of the Battle of Cable Street.
The tour finishes near the Old Truman Brewery and is perfect for art lovers, photographers, culture seekers, locals, and first-time visitors.
Please note: Groups larger than six people and educational groups must arrange a private tour in advance, as they cannot join the free tour.
