What you'll see and do
Hidden away in small backyards are two huge pieces that take up a whole building wall. One is Phlegm with his signature slim, long creatures walking on stilts above the tags of other artists who can only aspire to his heights. Across the street (even more hidden) is FanakaPan and after seeing this you will always recognise his work. Famous for his silver, helium balloons, he takes this animated classic and gives it a twist. Spend a moment looking up and admiring the details.

Brick Lane
Sometimes you need at least two different points of view to fully appreciate a work of art. Luckily, on this street there's plenty of space to find the right angle. We start from a distance to look at Dan Kitchener and Perspicere. Their works are on doors which are not so big in format - but which draw our attention and require us to step forward and discover unusual technical skills and more details.
5 minutes here
Turning from the street to a dirty, narrow yard may be scary, but don't be afraid, we have a lot to show you in this space! Stickers are an art form of their own and here they really rule. Become the eighth star and leave a little art of your own!
5 minutes here
There are some spots that remain unchanged for years, for many reasons. In this case it's a piece that is very important to the local community. Shoreditch has a long history of refugees and immigrants making it their new home. This work by Stik is dedicated to the Muslim community and shows their long lasting connection with the area. It's been defaced a few times, but it's always been repainted, showing its resilience and beauty with its simple form and strong colour composition.
5 minutes here
While walking along Brick Lane you will notice a huge bird on one of the side streets...go closer to discover even more. At first it's hard to decide where to look: we have stickers, and simple black and white painted slogans by Wrdsmth, a few smaller colourful graffiti that change quite often and two huge classics: the bird by ROA and a man upside down by Martin Ron. They have been here for ages (actual time around 20 years) which in Graffiti terms means ancient. Take a look at the man standing on his hand and marvel not only in the scale but also the skill that allows it to incorporate the existing features of the building.
5 minutes here
In a few places around Brick Lane you will notice broccoli. Some of them are quite realistic but mostly you'll see them in all the colours of the rainbow. Here there is one attached to the wall - they have been popping on this street for many years. They really took over and part of the street actually changed its name to Broccoli Lane. Now the artist who started the trend - Adrian Boswell - has his own gallery and even sells broccoli in frames.
5 minutes here
Now we are stepping a bit further away from the street to a graffiti park. Allen Gardens is surrounded by many walls full of graffiti. Some of them change very often - every few days - so when you are here make sure to take some photos as you might be the last person to see them before they get covered by something new! Most of the art here is done by Graffiti writers: artists who only paint letters. But as you will see they are very hard, almost impossible, to read. It's a challenge to write something that nobody can read, but you can still enjoy the amazing colours of these almost abstract works.
10 minutes here
Some walls are collaborations of two or more artists. As we leave the park look up for the number 5, you will instantly recognise the artist responsible for this part of the wall and find out about some new ones.
5 minutes here
We are moving away from the vintage and rough vibe of Brick Lane towards the trendy and modern part of the area, which is luckily also full of graffiti. Here we will find some large format adverts painted by graffiti artists but also many smaller pieces like pink portraits by Neon. These seem to be only brushing the walls, like a gentle mist of the spray paint, but falling exactly where they should to create these faces full of character and smile.
10 minutes here
On the opposite spectrum from complicated graffiti writers who make all the effort to remain mysterious, is Ben Eine with his big, bold letters which are easy to read and easily visible from a far distance. Every letter is the same style, but he uses different fonts amongst all his works. Sometimes old-fashionably curved and elaborate, sometimes sharp and modern, and sometimes just square - but they always make you feel like you would like to step into his world.
5 minutes here
No Street Art Tour in London would be complete without Banksy's work! Not many are left, but we have a secret place where we will take you to see some of his old works alongside other, less known, but equally outstanding, works of art. You will recognise that the Banksy ones are covered in with a glass panel. Is that right? Is it worth it? We welcome discussion and the exchange of your opinions about art, art market, trends and personal likes and dislikes on this tour.
10 minutes here
When leaving the yard you will spot half of a soldier... but don't worry, he is in one piece, you just have to stand on the corner to fully admire this work by artist Otto Schade - another one with a distinctive style. Afterwards you will easily spot another work of his because they always appear like they are made out of ribbons. They might seem empty inside, but they truly are full of life and energy - not to mention the art of stencil taken to a new level.
5 minutes here
While strolling along the next street you will find some old favourites and some new names on the tour, but also ones that have been known all over Europe for many, many years. French artist Thierry Noir has been brightening up the walls with his colourful heads for over 40 years. He's best known for his groundbreaking work on the Berlin Wall in the 1980s, but he's also left his mark on London streets. No matter the weather and your mood these bright characters will always cheer you up.
5 minutes here
Despite its' relatively short history, street art in East London already has its' archaeological chapter: a piece of a wall that was painted a long time ago by Banksy, taken away from the original location and now reinstated so everyone can admire it. It's part of a new, fancy and artsy hotel, but you don't have to book a room to see it - it's out on the street where it belongs and for everyone to enjoy and criticise.
10 minutes here
Among all this modern art you might be surprised to suddenly bump into William Shakespeare. No, it's not a crossover with the Ghost Tour, but a location of his Curtain Theatre. He is quietly sitting on the bench that marks the theatre grounds and when you sit next to him (an opportunity you will likely never have again!), you will also notice a stunning graffiti of Romeo and Juliet, because this is where people heard this immortal love story for the first time.
10 minutes here
From this romantic spot we go back to modern art and one big building covered by many artists. Different colour pallets, different styles, different inspiration, even a small policeman, but all combined perfectly in a one of a kind graffiti wallpaper.
5 minutes here
After this we'll be leaving the artistic, old part and moving towards the glass and metal skyscrapers of the City. And before the end, you'll hear one last story about the Graffiti Wars. It's almost as serious as it sounds, but at least some wonderful art came out of it!

An Inspiring Art Adventure for the Family
This tour delivers a rich blend of art, culture, local history, and creative exploration. It’s perfect for families, photography enthusiasts, and anyone eager to go beyond the usual London sights. For us, especially my son, it was more than sightseeing; it was hands-on inspiration and urban storytelling. Highly recommended!

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
London East End Instagrammable Street Art and Graffiti Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.
How much does London East End Instagrammable Street Art and Graffiti Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $303 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in London usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does London East End Instagrammable Street Art and Graffiti Tour take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in London is not rushed.
Is London East End Instagrammable Street Art and Graffiti Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 16 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in London, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule London East End Instagrammable Street Art and Graffiti Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is London East End Instagrammable Street Art and Graffiti Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book London East End Instagrammable Street Art and Graffiti Tour?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in London can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in London and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does London East End Instagrammable Street Art and Graffiti Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central London within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in London?
+
London's best attractions split cleanly: the museums are free and need no booking, so the paid market is about views, theatre and getting out of the city for a day. That makes value scoring unusually important here, and the Outty Ranking penalises anything charging premium prices for access you could get for nothing. On Outty we rank every London experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour, London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs, The Great British Rock and Roll Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit London?
+
May to September for long evenings, December for the Christmas markets. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in London?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
