Humorous, hard-hitting, provocative and highly skilled, street art has moved from being at the margins of the art world to being front and centre. It’s now sponsored by some of the world’s biggest brands and sold in leading auction houses.
Wandering through the ever-changing canvas of Shoreditch and Spitalfields we’ll see the creative output of both up and coming local talent as well as established international street art royalty.
On this tour you’ll discover how and why a run-down neighbourhood became the world’s leading centre for global street art – colourful, vibrant and thought-provoking.
Meeting Time: at 5:45pm for a prompt start at 6pm
Meeting Place: outside the entrance to Shoreditch High Street Overground station, Braithwaite Street, London, E1 6GJ
End: approx. 8pm on Fournier Street
Post-tour drinks: nearest hostelry is The Ten Bells, 84 Commercial Street, London, E1 6LY
