Really great tour of the local street art, history and the people behind it. Walked down some streets I’ve never seen before and assumed they weren’t worth seeing.
Gia_C, Mar 2026
I took this street art tour and it was absolutely fantastic. The guide was extremely knowledgeable, and I learned a lot about both the art itself and the culture and history of Brick Lane. Highly recommended.
Lisa_J, Mar 2026
This experience was all that I'd hoped. We saw a very wide selection of graffiti and street art. We learnt alot about its roots and how it developed in London.
In addition, we were told lots of interesting facts about the East End of London.
The guide was knowledgeable and had lived experience of the world if graffiti and street art.
Ellen_D, Mar 2026
Great guide! Gave me who have little or no knowledge of street art a new perspective. Would recommend

Fabulous must do, Eva our guide was knowledgeable, friendly and as an artist herself offered a unique insight.
Neal_R, Dec 2025
We really liked the tour; Eva was very knowledgeable about the art, the area and even nuances between the artists. Fully recommend for those who like street art or have an open mind to know more.
Margaret_L, Nov 2025

Mark_C, Nov 2025
Good knowledgeable guide. Tour is a different perspective on street art and graffiti. Recommended if you want to learn about these topics.
Susan_H, Oct 2025
Easy to find starting point
Lots to see and learn about London street art
Our guide was an expert. The group was a
tad too large for my taste

Super interesting tour exploring the street art and graffiti of East London…Gabby was attentive and informative! Would definitely recommend two first timers or veterans to London
Genevieve_T, Oct 2025
I had a great time on this tour! Laura was so warm and fun and knowledgeable about street art and so much more. You’ll see street art on this tour that you likely won’t find on your own. Highly recommend!
Sandy_N, Sep 2025
We thoroughly enjoyed our street art tour last week with Gabby! Very enthusiastic artist that was a fount of knowledge about the Shoreditch/Brick Lane area and all things art. We learned so much about the history and culture of the area and the street art. Some of the art is in areas you wouldn’t even know to look for and Gabby’s knowledge and anecdotes added made for a very engaging 2 hours. We would highly recommend this tour!
Chris_K, Sep 2025
So glad we did this. Our guide Eva was super knowledgeable and engaging. Learned a lot about style and meaning of the art. Also learned a lot about the complicated history of the area around Brick Road. A highlight of our trip.

Where should I start location? Apparently it was hard for everyone to find the location so I called the vendor. Who had me walk to one block wait in the middle of the alley and no one ever showed. Then I was told to walk down another street. Keep in mind I’ve never been to London before I spent 30 minutes trying to find the tour group no one called me to say hey wrong location I had to keep calling them to get directions to the meet up with the group. I would never do another tour with this company. In fact, I’m actually going to do a TikTok to my 50,000 followers and advise them to never use this company as well and I will be contacting Amex to dispute this payment. I’m so disgusted disappointed and I hate that I wasted all my time and money.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
I'm sorry you didnt get to experience our activity.
Firstly our location is very clear with a Google Maps link, QR code and links to local transport. No one has problems finding it.
You weren't there at the start time so we called you out of courtesy to see if you were still joining as the guide held the group up to wait for you. You didn't answer so the group set off. You called back a few minutes later to say you weren't at the meeting point but would like to catch up so we said you could try to catch them at the next stop.
We do advise to show up to the correct place, on time or advise us if you're running late so we know you're still planning to join as our routes change regularly to take in the best new art. You did none of these.
As soon as I realised the guide had gone a slightly different route, I called you straight back, then sent you a message with a Google map link (3 minutes away from where you were). And told you wait there for the guide to arrive. You instead carried on through the street then called me to say I'd sent you too 'a sketchy area full of Graffiti'. I assured you this area is not sketchy at all, and you'd signed up for a street art and graffiti tour, so of course there would be graffiti. At which point you began insulting our community before hanging up.
This was all in the course of 20 minutes.
We take feedback and criticism very seriously and do our best to work on it, hence why we have won so many awards. But everything you have said is untrue and an unfair, unwarranted attack on a small business who did everything possible to help you after you failed to show up on time to the correct place

It's a great overview of the street art and graffiti scene. We were introduced to key artists and shown brilliant artwork that we would have missed. Missed because they were discreet or were camouflaged or in places you wouldn't necessarily think to look! Gabby's insights on the historical significance of the area was fascinating too. He was a brilliant guide! He opened up the street art scene for us newbies, and helped us understand it more. He made, what could been seen as just scribble, make total sense and left us with a great respect for the artists working in this arena. We highly recommend the tour!
Jonathan_S, Aug 2025
We had Eva as our guide. Group size was good. Eva was well spoken, knowledgeable, and accomodating. There was a lot to see and Eva kept it interesting throughout - including for our 3 teenagers. Highly recommend this tour.
Molly_W, Jul 2025
Our tour with Eva Joy was one of the highlights of our London trip. Our entire family, 10 year old included, appreciated getting away from the tourist attractions and learning more about a neighborhood, its history, its residents, and the art.
Overall - it got our family talking. We didn't agree with everything we saw and we didn't like all the art we saw either, but it sparked good conversations in our family - which is the whole point.
Kimberly_H, Jul 2025
Our tour guide Natalie was very knowledgable. I have a new appreciation for street art and learned what slap and paste art is.
Holly_I, Jul 2025
We did this tour with our 16, 14 and 12-year-old children and we all learned a lot about street art. Our guide Josh was knowledgeable and passionate about the subject.
Lisa_S, Jul 2025
Your guide was exceptional, witty and knowledgeable. Absolutely enjoyed the experience and learned a lot.
AmandaM, Jul 2025
I learned so much on this tour. I was completely unaware of all the different types of street art in the genre. The subversive, anti-establishment message was loud and clear. Love that an art teacher and street artist was our guide.
Carol_C, Jun 2025
Our tour guide, Natalie, was fantastic! She provided so much information, insight and humor, the time flew by. She really opened up the depth, meaning and mediums of street art to us.
Blanche_F, Jun 2025
What an interesting two hours! Guide Josh led our group through the living art museum that is East London. He explained in detail the historical and contemporary social relevance of street art. We left with an enhanced appreciation for the art form most people dismiss as “graffiti”.
Pam_K, Jun 2025
Comprehensive and educational history and overview of East End street art. Engaging and approachable guide, Josh.
gary_I, Jun 2025
Our guide was remarkably knowledgeable and passionate. He spoke about the complexity of the street art scene, and I'm sure we all learned quite a bit! The emphasis was more toward graffiti and less on commissioned art, but it was nonetheless fascinating.
Alice_P, Jun 2025
Me and my boyfriend went on this Street Art walking tour as a date. Before we visited we had an idea that it may be a fun activity to do, however this tour completely exceeded our expectations. Our tour guide was absolutely wonderful, not only did she have a background in art but also a real passion and knowledge for the history and movement of street art within the East end of London. As well as this, it was wonderful to see the East end be bought to life as an open gallery and a potential canvas, it has completely changed the way I look at the area. Inspiring and brilliant! Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a great way to explore London.
Beata_K, May 2025
Great experience from start to finish! Very informative! Josh has a lot of knowledge and experience with street art!
david, Apr 2025
Gabby is a great tour guide. Very passionate about Street Art. Feel that we missed some of the better pieces around Brick Lane.
Annie_C, Mar 2025
It is such a neat part of town with a varied history. You will learn all about graffiti, tagging, and local history.
Laura was our guide and she was super knowledgeable and passionate about art!
Brian_G, Mar 2025
Our tour guide Josh was very knowledgeable and passionate about street art and its place in London. One of the guides didn't show up and Josh was able to guide a larger group then expected thru the streets of east london. Great and easy tour!
