Street Art Walk

Start: Shoreditch High Street overground station

Finish Spitalfields Market or Liverpool Street station

This walk is a bit different to our others. It changes every time we do it! But it’s essentially a game of two halves. The first half of the walk takes in a lot of big Shoreditch pieces, many of them classics that have been in situ for some time. Work by Ben Eine, Dan Kitchener, Dreph, Jimmy C, Mr Cenz, Otto Schade, Stik, Mad C, Broccoli Man and of course Banksy. We see two of Banksy’s most famous images which really put him on the map, and you hear a couple of theories as to who he (they?) is (are). The second half of the tour is on and around Brick Lane, which is always teeming with mostly new art by lesser known artists that won’t be there long, so get those cameras out and grab the images while you can. We also see a third Banksy that has been ruined. Or has it? And just why is Shoreditch the capital of the street art scene? Your guide explains the unique history, architecture and lay out of the place that has brought us this amazing art area.
