Shoreditch Street Art Private Tour: More Than Just Banksy

(146 reviews)
London, England

2 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English

Shoreditch used to be one of London's roughest corners. Now it's home to some of the most photographed streets in Europe, and the transformation happened one wall at a time.

This walk takes you through the murals, the stencils, and the stories behind them, from world famous names to brand new local artists transforming the area today.

This is a private tour, just your group and a local guide who actually knows this scene, not a script read off a laminated card. Expect honest opinions on what counts as real street art, plus the odd surprise, our guides have bumped into working artists mid tour more than once.

This neighbourhood is also a magnet for fashion, food, and design, so if anyone in your group is more into trainers and streetwear than gallery walls, there's plenty for them too.

Two hours, entirely on foot, shaped around whatever your group wants more of.

Good for: families, friend groups, art lovers, and travellers who want to discover London off the beaten path.
