Street art and graffiti has really skyrocketed in the last couple of years and now some cities are totally embracing this as a part of their identity especially in London’s East End. Shoreditch has incorporated this as a part of the vibe and feel of the area. It’s now is a hotspot for famous street art by the likes of Banksy, El Mac, Stik, Space Invader, Jimmy C, Dscreet and Phlegm.
The street art and graffiti is scattered throughout Brick Lane, Shoreditch, Fashion Street, Bateman’s Row and Spitalfields. This is a lot of ground to cover to find the pieces or artist you are looking for.
Street Art Tours
An excellent way to see the street art and graffiti is to go on one of the many street art walking tours. I chose Strawberry Tours when I did this earlier in 2017 as it’s run as a free walking tour but there are also paid options.

Hi, I'm Kat, an Australian that moved to London in 2013 to start a new adventure. What a roller-coaster that was! I love helping others move to the UK and people explore the world! I’d be honoured if you’d say, “Thanks!” with a £3 coffee on Ko-fi.
