Urban Canvas: Exploring Shoreditch's Vibrant Street Art

Nick is a fabulous tour guide! He is full of fascinating information and good humor. We thoroughly enjoyed our immersive and engaging tour of the vibrant street art scene in Shoreditch. We would definitely book Nick at Loudman Tours again!

Great tour with Nick. Very informative and sooooo much to see. He is very knowledgeable about street art and the local and international scene. Easy walk - well paced and well curated - good mix of styles and artists. It brought the place to life. So much you would just pass if you don't know where to look. Will definitely look up his other tours.

Wow what an education. Before booking this tour I had little more idea about street art than it was colourful and intriguing but now I know so much more. Nick has given me the basics to go away and actually identify individual artists work that I might encounter in other parts of London or the world! I learned about the origins of some of the artists and about the etiquette of the street art world. Nick really made me look…you literally could be walking blindly past meaningful art on every street corner. It is not graffiti it really should be appreciated for the art that it surely is. We even got to have ago! Thank you Nick…..5 stars

Most amazing tour! Even got a surprise of meeting a really cool street artist! Nick explained everything with such detail but made it fun and exciting!one of my best days out in london I’ve ever had! Couldn’t recommend enough!

Nick was fantastic even tho the weather was a bit meh he made it a great experience. He knows a lot about the artists and it’s really fun to try and spot different pieces from artists he has shown you!

Best tour so far!! Nick is a fantastic guide, funny, speaks loud, took us to great places and told us so many interesting things about street art in London/Shoreditch. He also inegrated the kids very well, so it was a great experience for the whole family! We made two short but very nice Coffee stops during the 2,5 hours - it was very cold in January!🥶 Would love to book another tour with Nick!

Nick’s street art tour in Shoreditch was a brilliant way to start the year. Informative, relaxed and full of personality. The tour brought the area’s ever-changing street art to life, highlighting both iconic works and hidden gems you’d easily miss on your own. Nick’s passion and storytelling made the experience engaging. A brilliant way to explore the area and enjoyable for all ages — highly recommend.

Nick of Loudman Tours was knowledgeable, articulate, on top of the latest developments and knew the best hot choc shop.

Nick was able to convey his passion for Street Art to us complete neophytes. We were surprised to discover such a variety of artworks and techniques in such a small area. We were 2 adults and 2 teenagers and all of us loved the experience- including the final real spray painting. The weather was chilly and windy so Nick took us to grab a hot drink, then showed the bagel shop and hot chocolate shop to us for later.

Punctual, polite, professional. He was intelligent funny and great with engaging the children as well as the seniors. He was kind, patient and entertaining. One of the most intelligent and funny guides. Full of fascinating facts and kept us all leaning in for the next story. We met artists, explored the historic neighbourhood and EVEN had an opportunity to try our hand at street art (graffiti). Absolutely Magical. Every second was a memory and by far the best part of this entire trip to London.

The tour and guide were as vibrant as the street art itself. Enjoyable walk with a lot of behind-the-scenes info. You would certainly miss out on a lot of interesting things doing a walk without Nick. Good value for money.

We had a really entertaining, funny, handsome and charming tourguide with Nick. We know now better to keep our eyes open for the art around us. On buildings or the sidewalk, we enjoyed very much.

Highly recommend Loudman Tours with Nick. We had the absolute pleasure of doing the Urban canvas - Exploring Shoreditch's vibrant street Art. Nick is an exceptional tour guide—his depth of knowledge and how he articulates it is impressive. He engages naturally with the group, making everyone feel welcome and involved. What really sets Nick apart is how fun and entertaining he makes the experience. His energy and enthusiasm keep the tour lively and engaging for all ages. The tour was not only informative but also structured in a way that made it easy to follow and enjoy. Adding surprises into it too. We can’t wait to book another tour with Nick and explore more of London through his unique and insightful perspective. Whether you’re a local or a visitor, we highly recommend Lautmann Tours for anyone looking to learn, laugh, and be inspired. What a great find!

I could go on for days about how nice the man running it, Nick, was. He was funny and he knew everything about every art piece. It was a long walk, but the sights to see were amazing. Five stars.

What a fantastic tour - something to see at every turn if you know where to look and our guide Nick knew exactly where to look!! Full of knowledge and stories that live long in the memory. He even took us to where a new piece was being created and we met the artists. Wow! Great guide, great art, great fun.

Favourite tour ever!! I love street art and always seek it out when I travel, however I'd never thought to do the same myself in London, my hometown until I booked this tour on a whim. This tour felt like it turned Shoreditch (An area I visit fairly often) into a street art Narnia, with so many pieces that were hidden in plain sight, that I'd never have found myself. Nick's enthusiasm was contagious, his knowledge of the area and it's hidden gems was amazing. He strikes the perfect balance of history, info, humour and interactivity (as you get to try yourself at the end!!). I think the thing that sets this tour apart from the rest is Nick's connections with many of the local artists, giving a really authentic touch but also keeps him keep right up to speed with the constantly changing pieces. Whether you're a street art enthusiast or just curious, I can't recommend this tour enough!

I took my 14 year old and 18 year old daughters on Nick’s tour of street art in Shoreditch and we had the best time! We learnt so much about the talented artists in the area and their beautiful thought provoking works ! Nick is very knowledgable, engaging and enthusiastic which really added to the experience! I 100% recommend!

This was a great choice, exploring Shoreditch’s vibrant street Art. Our guide (Nick) was top class with a wealth of information about the artists and the whole tour was exciting and great fun.

Nick is the best person to see around with his deep knowledge and fun style to make you experience the area. Also quite friendly attitude. I wouldn’t recommend it more!! You will have an unforgettable day!

Such an incredible experience. Nick the guide was amazing full of energy and enthusiasm for what he does showing passion and insight on every street artist remarkable work around Shoreditch. A definite must do when visiting London.

Really fun day out! Nik was very informative, I feel like I learnt a lot. He made the tour fun and engaging. I would definitely recommend it to my friends :)

We've seen an astonishing variety of street art, often so small and hidden in plain sight, that we never would have found all this on our own. Nick showed us all this in his cheerful and entertaining way, telling us about different styles and different artists and the way, this art form is created between illegality and legality. As Nick is in contact with multiple artists, he is as up to date as one can be in this constantly changing scenery of street art. Thanks a lot, Nick!

This tour is lots of fun and really informative. Nick has lots of interesting knowledge about the artists. This would make a great day out for a group of friends, and equally enjoyable solo.

It was a truly amazing tour. Nick is a great guide with tons of interesting information and stories about street art and the artists.

Had such a fun time with nick showed us some incredible work by the most incredible artists from Banksy to jimmy c whilst also having a blast with the spray can myself ;)

It was an unforgettable adventure through the colourful streets of East London. Nick's passion for street art and in-depth knowledge of the local scene shone through as he guided us through the lively Shoreditch neighbourhood. He introduced us to a variety of breathtaking murals and hidden gems, all while sharing fascinating stories about the artists and the meaning behind their work. Not only was the tour informative and visually stunning, but Nick's warm and engaging personality made it an absolute delight. His love for the vibrant street art culture was infectious and I left the tour with a newfound appreciation for this unique form of artistic expression. I highly recommend Nick and Loudman Tours to anyone looking to explore the best of Shoreditch's graffiti and street art scene. The experience was fun, informative and truly memorable. Don't miss out on this incredible opportunity to discover the colourful heartbeat of London's East End with an expert guide like Nick!

I went as a born and bred Londoner, with an interest in art. It was the most amazing thing going past streets I've been down 100 times and getting to see them in a different light. Nick was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and funny. His sense of humour kept the energy and spirits up the whole time. I gained so much insight on London street art, I definitely won't be looking at my commute in the same way!

Nicks tour was absolutely amazing Should me such incredible insight into the world of Street and Shoreditch’s vibrant scene highlighting incredible artists including David speed , Thierry noir jimmy c and much more a must see for anyone coming to London wanting to try something a little less ordinary

This is the tour that has it all. Mind-blowing art and views in the best district of London for exciting new innovations, businesses and people-watching. A knowledgeable, kind, conscientious and passionate tour-guide, Nick, who knew not only a boundless amount of information about the street art and artists we were viewing, but is a keen historian and happy to share even more facts about the socio-political history and topography of London itself. I am grateful to have been able to experience this amazing city through the lens of such a brilliant tour and guide. Thank you, Nick!

Such a great tour! Nick our tour guide was super informative but fun and we had a great day. Would highly recommend any of his tours and can’t wait for the next one.

Had the best time with nick as our guide. You can ask him anything about the tour and he has the answer without even having to look it up! We also really loved the itinerary. The day flowed smoothly. Thank you nick!

Amazing 5 stars from me. See to Banksdy David and he was just incredible I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone

What a fantastic tour. Nick is so knowledgeable and engaging and knows all the best sports to see great street art form the likes of Banksy, David Speed, Stiik, and so many more. We had an amazing time from start to finish and couldn’t recommend highly enough.

Nick was so knowledgeable about the area it was well worth it, much better than trying to use google! As well as the Banksys we came from, artists like David Speed and Thierry Noir who was the first to paint the Berlin Wall!

Nick is defo LoudMan, great, funny and tour was epic. His knowledge is great and actually gets involved with the artists too, to preserve their works. He also tweaks the tour for the group - so we did a little more of this/that as we were smaller tour. I honestly could have spent all day with him! It was super cool!

The street art tour was a great way to spend an afternoon. Nick was a wonderful tour guide; extremely informative showing us  the works of David Speed, Jimmy C, Broccoli man  and Cartooners to name a few.  All against the beautiful backdrop that is Shoreditch.  Book on now, I guarantee you won't be disappointed. Thanks Nick!!

Wonderful experience of Street art!!! We immersed ourselves completely in street art and discovered things we would never normally have noticed! Our guide Nick was fantastic!!

It was a really fantastic experience. A super guide, Nick, who told and entertained our small group in a very vivid way.

A super interesting tour! Walk through London with a completely different view and actually discover really cool street art from time to time. Our guide Nick knew a lot and brought it across refreshingly 👍.
