Once a working-class Victorian slum, London’s East End has transformed into the thriving epicentre of London’s art, fashion, and entrepreneurship. 

From the startup hubs leading the digital economy to the art galleries, pubs, and restaurants of a vibrant social world, this truly is a remarkable part of the world’s most international city. 

Explore the hidden alleys, famous markets, antique shops, boutique florists, and fashion stalls, and sample the delicious cuisine in the many food markets. 

London is famously an international city, and the East End is truly a melting pot of diversity - famed for waves of Huguenot, Irish, and Jewish immigration - we now see the influence of Bangladeshi migrants, whose cuisine defines and enlivens the world-renowned Brick Lane. 

Explore East London, recognised worldwide for its iconic street art scene, with talented local and international artists such as Banksy, Camille Walala, Mr Cenz, and Roa who have brought their art to the streets of Shoreditch.

London’s street art is beautifully ephemeral and transforming constantly. For every fresh new work that appears, a masterpiece from yesterday may be gone, but there’s no better way for you to discover this dynamic, on-the-pulse scene than by taking a guided tour through East London, the street art mecca of the city. 

With your expert tour guide, you will explore the ever-changing walls of the Shoreditch area – where shipping containers become shopping malls and train carriages are transformed into artist studios. The favourite haunt of hipsters, Shoreditch is also a veritable treasure trove of street art. 

From scrawled tags to stunning murals, stencilled stick men to giant intricate animals, immerse yourself in this vibrant sea of creativity. Sometimes political, often humorous, and always imaginative, your time on this art tour will transform the way you view scribbles along walls in every city. 

East London – especially Brick Lane – is synonymous with the subculture, street art and graffiti. It is also amazing for foodies, fashionistas, and bargain hunters. 

As you walk along Brick Lane and its off-shoot streets with your private guide, you’ll learn all about the history of Spitalfields Market, Whitechapel and Shoreditch.
