London East End Instagrammable Street Art and Graffiti Tour Image 1
No matter where you stand in London's East End, there is always something interesting to see.
London's Spitalfields is a vibrant neighbourhood filled with both business and residential buildings - and you'll find art on them both.
Not all street art is panted on walls! If you know where to look you can find charming statues just like this.
London arrests are constantly at work in the East End where new works can pop up within mere minutes - sometimes you can catch the artists at work.
Don't miss out!

Heneage Street

Hidden away in small backyards are two huge pieces that take up a whole building wall. One is Phlegm with his signature slim, long creatures walking on stilts above the tags of other artists who can only aspire to his heights. Across the street (even more hidden) is FanakaPan and after seeing this you will always recognise his work. Famous for his silver, helium balloons, he takes this animated classic and gives it a twist. Spend a moment looking up and admiring the details.

Brick Lane

Sometimes you need at least two different points of view to fully appreciate a work of art. Luckily, on this street there's plenty of space to find the right angle. We start from a distance to look at Dan Kitchener and Perspicere. Their works are on doors which are not so big in format - but which draw our attention and require us to step forward and discover unusual technical skills and more details.

The Seven Stars

Turning from the street to a dirty, narrow yard may be scary, but don't be afraid, we have a lot to show you in this space! Stickers are an art form of their own and here they really rule. Become the eighth star and leave a little art of your own!

Princelet Street

There are some spots that remain unchanged for years, for many reasons. In this case it's a piece that is very important to the local community. Shoreditch has a long history of refugees and immigrants making it their new home. This work by Stik is dedicated to the Muslim community and shows their long lasting connection with the area. It's been defaced a few times, but it's always been repainted, showing its resilience and beauty with its simple form and strong colour composition.

Hanbury Street

While walking along Brick Lane you will notice a huge bird on one of the side streets...go closer to discover even more. At first it's hard to decide where to look: we have stickers, and simple black and white painted slogans by Wrdsmth, a few smaller colourful graffiti that change quite often and two huge classics: the bird by ROA and a man upside down by Martin Ron. They have been here for ages (actual time around 20 years) which in Graffiti terms means ancient. Take a look at the man standing on his hand and marvel not only in the scale but also the skill that allows it to incorporate the existing features of the building.

Dray Walk

In a few places around Brick Lane you will notice broccoli. Some of them are quite realistic but mostly you'll see them in all the colours of the rainbow. Here there is one attached to the wall - they have been popping on this street for many years. They really took over and part of the street actually changed its name to Broccoli Lane. Now the artist who started the trend - Adrian Boswell - has his own gallery and even sells broccoli in frames.

Allens Gardens

Now we are stepping a bit further away from the street to a graffiti park. Allen Gardens is surrounded by many walls full of graffiti. Some of them change very often - every few days - so when you are here make sure to take some photos as you might be the last person to see them before they get covered by something new! Most of the art here is done by Graffiti writers: artists who only paint letters. But as you will see they are very hard, almost impossible, to read. It's a challenge to write something that nobody can read, but you can still enjoy the amazing colours of these almost abstract works.

Buxton Street

Some walls are collaborations of two or more artists. As we leave the park look up for the number 5, you will instantly recognise the artist responsible for this part of the wall and find out about some new ones.

Ebor Street

We are moving away from the vintage and rough vibe of Brick Lane towards the trendy and modern part of the area, which is luckily also full of graffiti. Here we will find some large format adverts painted by graffiti artists but also many smaller pieces like pink portraits by Neon. These seem to be only brushing the walls, like a gentle mist of the spray paint, but falling exactly where they should to create these faces full of character and smile.

Ebor Street

On the opposite spectrum from complicated graffiti writers who make all the effort to remain mysterious, is Ben Eine with his big, bold letters which are easy to read and easily visible from a far distance. Every letter is the same style, but he uses different fonts amongst all his works. Sometimes old-fashionably curved and elaborate, sometimes sharp and modern, and sometimes just square - but they always make you feel like you would like to step into his world.

Rivington Street

No Street Art Tour in London would be complete without Banksy's work! Not many are left, but we have a secret place where we will take you to see some of his old works alongside other, less known, but equally outstanding, works of art. You will recognise that the Banksy ones are covered in with a glass panel. Is that right? Is it worth it? We welcome discussion and the exchange of your opinions about art, art market, trends and personal likes and dislikes on this tour.

Rivington Street

When leaving the yard you will spot half of a soldier... but don't worry, he is in one piece, you just have to stand on the corner to fully admire this work by artist Otto Schade - another one with a distinctive style. Afterwards you will easily spot another work of his because they always appear like they are made out of ribbons. They might seem empty inside, but they truly are full of life and energy - not to mention the art of stencil taken to a new level.

Rivington Street

While strolling along the next street you will find some old favourites and some new names on the tour, but also ones that have been known all over Europe for many, many years. French artist Thierry Noir has been brightening up the walls with his colourful heads for over 40 years. He's best known for his groundbreaking work on the Berlin Wall in the 1980s, but he's also left his mark on London streets. No matter the weather and your mood these bright characters will always cheer you up.

art'otel London Hoxton, Powered by Radisson Hotels

Despite its' relatively short history, street art in East London already has its' archaeological chapter: a piece of a wall that was painted a long time ago by Banksy, taken away from the original location and now reinstated so everyone can admire it. It's part of a new, fancy and artsy hotel, but you don't have to book a room to see it - it's out on the street where it belongs and for everyone to enjoy and criticise.

Hewett Street

Among all this modern art you might be surprised to suddenly bump into William Shakespeare. No, it's not a crossover with the Ghost Tour, but a location of his Curtain Theatre. He is quietly sitting on the bench that marks the theatre grounds and when you sit next to him (an opportunity you will likely never have again!), you will also notice a stunning graffiti of Romeo and Juliet, because this is where people heard this immortal love story for the first time.

New Inn Broadway

From this romantic spot we go back to modern art and one big building covered by many artists. Different colour pallets, different styles, different inspiration, even a small policeman, but all combined perfectly in a one of a kind graffiti wallpaper.

Shoreditch High Street

After this we'll be leaving the artistic, old part and moving towards the glass and metal skyscrapers of the City. And before the end, you'll hear one last story about the Graffiti Wars. It's almost as serious as it sounds, but at least some wonderful art came out of it!
