Itinerary
Home to the largest mural in London, a genuine showstopper and one of the best photo opportunities on the whole walk.
East London's most famous market, packed with independent traders selling everything from vintage clothes to handmade jewellery. A proper slice of local life, not a tourist trap.
The "hipster" end of London, but there's more to it than that. Learn how one of the roughest, most overlooked corners of the city became one of its most creative, one mural at a time.
One of the most famous streets in the area, home to vintage shops, market stalls, and some of London's best street food. Also a canvas for some of the boldest work you'll see all tour.
A former Victorian brewery turned creative hub, home to shops, galleries, and street food. Look out for the Banksy car tucked away in Ely's Yard, plus pieces from Shepard Fairey and Ronzo along the way.

We had a brilliant time on the Shoreditch street art tour with Jamie! He was funny, engaging and incredibly knowledgeable, making the whole experience both fun and informative. The artwork was seriously impressive, and Jamie brought so much insight and personality to the stories behind it. A fantastic way to explore Shoreditch – would highly recommend!
We had a great experience on the tour with Ash. He brings so much energy in it and has the information about the art right on point. We enjoyed it a lot and have our eyes much more open when walking through the city.
Becky was brilliant - her knowledge, humour and enthusiasm was infectious & engaging.

I got so much more out of this tour than if I had walked around by myself. Interesting insights, knowledgeable guide. Excellent value, small group and plenty of opportunities to ask questions.
Wow, what a great experience! The Shoreditch street art walking tour led by Big Ben was the highlight of our entire London visit. He offered fascinating insights into the art we saw, drawing on not only his background in history but also a love of art and the neighborhood. The art scene we experienced was a little taste of how London lives now. Just what I wanted. I highly recommend this tour and Ben as a guide!!

The tour through Shoreditch was great! We saw so much art you wouldn‘t notice when you‘re just passing through the streets. Our guide Jamie made it to the perfect experience it was. His catching way of tellung stories, his insights on the artists and their works amd his super fun way of tellung everything makes it truely fun!
Bobby was great! Best tour I was
Bobby was fantastic! East London and this district is thriving with vibrant street art and graffiti. I loved how Bobby weaved the story of the art, the neighborhood and local and international artists. Highly recommend this tour!
It was fun with Big Ben and also very interesting! We saw the best Street Art and I got good inspiration for doing my own art. Thanks for everything Ben😁
Great orator and very helpful. Had a great time
Lily was the best tour guide we've ever had. As a young woman she brought a lively and modern perspective to the tours which was very welcome and also helped to engage my kids!
The tour led by Bobby was wonderful. Bobby passionately introduced us to the neighborhood and its graffiti, conveying the true spirit of the area and of street art. He was engaging throughout the tour and always happy to answer our questions.
It‘s been one of the best freewalking tours I‘ver ever made. So interesting, entertaining and remaining! I just can repeat what I wrote on the Booking Platform (Guruwalk) Such an extraordinary experience. Bobby is the born guide: he has the talent to give you lots of interesting information without letting you feel overloaded. The shown places are very beautiful and differently selected pieces of art. The 2 hours flew by. Had so much fun! Defnitley one of the best free walking tours I‘ve ever made. Simply THE Street Art Tour! Thanks to Bobby!!
Fun and instructive visit, lots of anecdotes, fine sense of humour
What a lifechanging experience. James is an amazing tour guide and gave lots of insightful information. It was very easy clear communication throughout the entire tour.
Great tour with very knowledgeable guide (Bobby). Enjoyed the variety of art and the background and controversies about the area. Sad to think new money and gentrification may destroy the charm of the area.
Unforgettable tour, highly recommended! I feel I have learnt a lot about the area and about street art. The guide Rob was fun and very knowledgeable, worth the time and every penny!
Great experience. Big added value to the trip.
Fabulous informative and fun tour. Ben is a very knowledgeable guide, passionate about his subject matter. Highly recommend doing this tour if you’re an art lover.
The guide (Big Ben) was really great, considered, funny, incredibly great and easy to listen to. He changed completely the way I look at streetart and even gave great recommendations for what to do right after the tour in the vicinity. I couldn't have asked for more and will definitely take another tour with them next time I'm in London, maybe even the same. Warmest of recommendations.
Excellent guide took us all the interesting places
A thoroughly great tour of the street art of East London. Ash was very knowledgeable. Would recommend.
I have done this tour before a few years ago but with street art it does change and each guide decides their own emphasis and route. I was lucky with our guide who was an actress Lily Nichol. She was so enthusiastic and interesting and took us to some brilliant displays as well as explaining the history and different types of street art. Very engaging
we had so much fun on the walking tours in london, we actually did two! each of the tours were around two hours and the time went by so fast! our first was a a tour of london street art with sam as our tour guide. he had a great sense of humor and was able to tell us a lot about the street art and about the artists. we learned a lot about the different styles and about the shoreditch neighborhood in general. i would highly recommend doing this tour with sam as your tour guide!
Becky was absolutely wonderful! The tour she guided was funny, interesting and even touching! Highly recommend!
Lovely tour. I enjoyed it and very knowledgeable guide. Thanks to Big Ben
Jaime was wonderful! Very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. We had a great tour. The art was so cool and we even met one of the artists. I highly recommend. We even had smaller children on this tour ages 4, 10, and 12, and they all enjoyed it.
Bobby has done a great Shoreditch Street Art Tour with a lot of knowledge!
Big Ben knows his stuff. 'Nuff said.
We had an amazing time in Shoreditch! Ben is a very funny guide with an incredible wealth of knowledge about London street art.
I very much enjoyed the tour. Ash is a very kind guide. He knows a lot about street art as well as the life in the neighborhoods we visited. Ash also has a talent for telling stories which makes the time spent together a happy moment. Also Ash is respectful of people's culture and their own appreciation of art. Tour is approx 2 hours, I could have stayed for another hour ;) Thank you!
We had an excellent time following and listening to Colin. He gave us many information even for after the tour. He was understandable for foreigners and the 2 hours were a perfect length though we could have continued since there’s so much to see in Shoreditch.
Rob rocks Shoreditch! yay!!!
Nathan was entertaining, engaging and knowledgeable. We only scratched the surface of the art but we left with a desire to find out more and to stop and look at the walls around us.
We did the Camden tour with Big Ben and it was very interesting! We went through the busy touristic street but also the more arts area to end up on the Primrose hill with a beautiful view! He gave us a lot of fun facts about artist, musicien, movies and books references in the area! I fully recommand
Very interesting tour. Saw some amazing art. Our guide Ben was fabulous and so knowledgeable.
Great tour, very profesional
