London Street Art Tours Unveiled!

London Street Art Trip | Day 1 – NORTH

Friday, August 8th | From 10:30 AM to 5:30 PM

We’ll start our adventure in Camden Town, one of London’s most lively areas, known for its cool canals, the legendary Camden Market, and loads of street art by world-renowned artists. After lunch in one of my new favorite London neighborhoods, we’ll head to two spots in the north-east, both brimming with incredible murals. We’ll wrap up the day in a truly unique place: a neon wonderland filled with salvaged and reclaimed signs, curated by three generations.

God’s Own Junkyard – a must if you’re exploring London’s more unconventional corners.

London Street Art Trip | Day 2 – CENTRAL LONDON

Saturday, August 9th | From 10:30 AM to 5:30 PM

This urban walk begins at Brick Lane, the heart of London’s graffiti and street art scene. From there, we’ll continue our exploration through Shoreditch and Hoxton, with stops at art galleries that specialize in contemporary urban art. We’ll grab a bite at a fantastic street food market that’s also hosted a street art festival, then explore the lesser-known side of this now-gentrified London area.

From there, we’ll explore various southern suburbs, each known for their unique street art, and visit a contemporary art museum. For lunch, we’ll head to an industrial warehouse transformed into a vibrant space covered in street art, housing artists’ studios and exhibition areas. Afterward, we’ll continue exploring the southern suburbs up to Croydon, home to several massive murals by renowned street artists.

London Street Art Trip | Day 4 – EAST END

Monday, August 11th | From 10:30 AM to 5:30 PM

On this day, we’ll dive into London’s East End, a sprawling area that many of the city’s street artists call home. The street art here is more spontaneous and raw compared to Brick Lane and Shoreditch, with unsanctioned creativity still thriving. We’ll stroll among former warehouses, along the canals, through parks, and beside the River Lee, discovering how London’s once-derelict docks are transforming into a creative hub with a strong environmental focus. The area is still evolving, giving us a chance to witness its transformation firsthand—a classic spot to explore before it changes forever!

We’ll kick off the day in Brixton, wandering through its graffiti-covered alleys and immersing ourselves in the local spirit. After lunch, we’ll head to an area that hosted one of London’s earliest urban art projects, known for its unique dialogue between murals by world-renowned street artists and a local collection of Baroque masterpieces. This area is also sprinkled with trendy wine bars, where we can say our goodbyes over a glass of wine.
