Enjoy a walking tour of one of London’s most vibrant areas, and discover the alternative scenes of fashionable East London. Meet your guide by Old Spitalfields Market, just outside the City of London (London’s historic financial district). Learn the history of the East End as you walk down streets covered in street art. Your guide is one of the most knowledgeable about London’s street artists, and will give you a unique insight into the urban art and graffiti culture of the area. Wander over from Spitalfields to Brick Lane and the trendy Shoreditch area. Discover street art from around 40 artists, including Banksy, ROA, Stik, Shepard Fairey, Invader, Cranio, and many more.

Eva our guide was fantastic. An artist herself, she was knowledgeable about artists, mediums, methods, and the underlying historical contexts behind the many different works we saw. Funny and personable, I’d highly recommend booking a tour with her. The pic is of the goat at the meeting place, in front of the Old Spitalfields Market.

I unfortunately don't recall the name of the guide (she had red hair if that helps) but she was absolutely fantastic. Her passion and deep of knowledge of street art and East End's history made that activity memorable, and I learned so much. I highly recommend this tour.
