Over the past decades, London’s East End has transformed from a deprived industrial area to one of the most fashionable districts in the UK. As such, it has become a mecca for street artists from all over the world. On the Free Street Art and Graffiti Tour, you’ll dive into this fascinating world, see some of the most incredible murals in the city and learn about the socio-political context behind the work. Most tours will focus on and around Brick Lane, an iconic, trend-setting street with a rich historical heritage. It is home to a thriving Bangladeshi community, but in the past, it was the heart of London’s Jewish community. Some relics of this era can be found in the bagel shops on the street.

The Street Art and Graffiti Free Tour has been designed to accommodate all types of visitors, from avid fans of street art to novices who are curious to know more. There is a maze of art in this area, and this tour will guide you to the best examples. You’ll learn about Banksy and El Mac, Stik, Space Invader, Jimmy Vision, and SHOK-1; not one goes uncovered on our fabulous street art walking tour in London. As you stroll down Brick Lane, you'll see the Stik mural "a couple holding hands on the street", popular for its simple yet powerful message about social inclusion, and the famous giant crane by ROA, which has become an iconic symbol of the area.

At the Truman Brewery, you'll discover an array of works by some of the biggest names in street art. This building has been standing here since 1666 and has seen the area undergo many transformations. It is now a groundbreaking creative industry hub with independent galleries, bars, shops, and restaurants. Around the corner is Spitalfields market.
