East End Street Art and Stories
Brick Lane, Spitalfields and Shoreditch: murals, markets, migration and Jack the Ripper myths.
London's East End has always been where newcomers arrive and reinvent the city. This walk follows that story through some of the world's best street art.
We'll discover works by internationally known artists alongside pieces that appeared last week, and talk about the Huguenot weavers, Jewish tailors and Bangladeshi families who made Brick Lane what it is today.
