Not-To-Be-Missed Walking Tour For Art Lovers And Interested Parties Alike - Attended with my somewhat hard to please 21 yr old daughter. Turned out to be amongst one of her favourite of her London activities. We both attributed this to our guide Laura who effortlessly went beyond the usual script-based guiding experience and imbued her delivery with thought-provoking, comic, and insightful commentary on the socio-political and cultural significance of the movement. Well worth the modest investment for art lovers and neophytes alike!

Street art tour for everyone - Our guide Josh was knowledgeable and entertaining. We learned a lot about street art and saw many examples of the different forms. The ages of those joining ranged from about 8 to 65 years old and everyone really enjoyed it. East London was great to walk around - vibrant and lively. I highly recommend the tour!

Ava was a great tour... - Ava was a great tour guide - she provided lots of historical context that helped when taking in all the street art. She's very knowledgeable about the artwork as well, and clearly passionate about it too. Thanks for the fun introduction to a part of London I don't know well.

Art is up down and all around.. u just need to open your eyes - The walking tour was a great introduction to the graffiti and street art thriving in the East End. Tour guide brought the area to life and introduced us to many UK and international artists. She is an artist and was enthusiastic about other artists work and the different methods they use. She encouraged us to notice the stickers on the poles, art in the ground, on walls and to look up high. Without the guide we would have missed so many of the small pieces and the way in which the artists communicate through their works.
Would strongly recommend this 2 hr tour for Londoners and tourists alike.
