Free Street Art Tour of Shoreditch
Explore a world where every wall is a canvas, primed and ready to be sprayed, stenciled, and painted. In this ever-changing area, only the very best art can stand the test of time.
Things to do Free Street Art Tour of Shoreditch
Street Art has been described as the most important artistic movement of the 21st Century, but it dates back thousands of years ago. If you're a lover of art and culture then, yes, go to the National Gallery, go to the Tate Modern, and see the masterpieces created by the most famous artists over the last 400 years, but then join us on a Street Art tour and see what is happening at the grassroots level today. The work is beautiful, ever-changing, and thought-provoking. But Street Art is not just pretty pictures, it is challenging and political and tells the story of the struggles of the working classes in Britain over the last hundred years. You'll step back in time, and see how immigration into Brick Lane and the surrounding area has transformed Shoreditch from the poorest part of London, home to Jack the Ripper’s victims, to becoming one of the must-see boroughs of the capital, home to pop up bars and shops, and more vintage clothing stores than you’ll believe.
Included
Shoreditch Park

“Amazing”
The tour was really interesting with a lot of content. Our guide "Big Ben" didn't only know a lot about the art, the artists and the neighbourhood, but had skills in history, literature and lots of other things. He provided the information in a friendly amusing way and would have been able to talk about everything for hours. I can only recommend the tour!

A really superb, interesting, contextual, informative, current walking tour. I highly recommend..... I am going to become a regular with freetour.com. The guide Ben was brilliant! He even included brief history of the East End, a very knowledgeable young man, who took time to explain and made it interesting from the first minute.
Exceptional.

“Really enjoyed the art, the jokes and the atmosphere”
I loved how Bobby made everybody feel welcome and how it was clear he was super into street art himself. He seemed to have insider knowledge that only somebody who knows people in the street art community could know. And the art was beautiful! Much more fun than the usual museum tour, at least for me.

“Free Street Art Tour of Shoreditch”
This tour also provides a glimpse into a creative, unique world, one of the many small worlds of London. The guide is incredibly knowledgeable on the subject; they know who created what, when, how long they’ve been working there, what style is characteristic of a given artist, what exhibitions they’ve had, and if we’re interested, which platforms we can follow their work on. It was very clear that we were facing an experienced educator, as they conveyed their knowledge in a very skillful way.We received recommendations for various places

Walking around Shoreditch and admiring the street art was my favourite part of the trip!
And also the best neighbourhood I visited in London. It was so unique, with colourful vibes and true people presenting their art for free!
I really believe that sightseeing is one thing; get to understand the history better. But the present and the current city vibes is something that you only feel by walking through such neighbourhoods. This tour was amazing and I recommend it!

“À too large group but interesting ”
We were surprised to count 26 participants to this street art tour which is a too numerous group to fully enjoy…
James is very passionate sharing his knowledge too deeply on each spot. I do not aspire to become an expert in street art and I would have rather preferred to see more spots with shorter stops on each spot

“Best walking tour”
My sister visited London a few months ago and told me this walking tour had been her favorite thing about the city. I can confirm, this tour makes me want to pick up a can and do street art myself; to be a part of the community. Having an iPad to show the evolution in the ever changing walls of Schoreditch is the smartest decision the guide could have taken!

Wow... 'Big Ben' was our guide... Big personality, Big (clear) voice, Big on knowledge of the area and the Street Art 'Scene' in London, with a great deal of additional local 'gossip' and history thrown in!
I have done a LOT of 'free' Walking Tours across the UK and Europe, and rate this Guide and This particular tour (Shorditch Street Art) as one of the most enjoyable unknown insights into part of the City's History.

“Great tour with Nathan”
Walking tours are a great way to see a bit of a city, and I find Street Art tours get you looking "up" rather than starting into Google Maps. The tour with Nathan was great, he was engaging and knowledgable, hinted not-so-subtlely at things around us to get us looking up and noticing things, and skillfully guided us around Shoreditch. For a moment I thought he might out himself as one of the street artists, but not this time... Thank you! :o)
