What To Expect

East End
From the origins of Cockney rhyming slang to the hipsters of Shoreditch via the curry houses of Brick Lane, this neighborhood is a proud representation of the vast melting-pot that is London. Notorious as the hunting ground of 19th century serial killer Jack the Ripper, it’s now home to London's best street art including Shepard Fairey and Banksy. The East End is alive with contradictions and colorful characters, and we’ll introduce you to our favorites, like the many vendors at Spitalfields Market. We’ll explore the streets and neighborhoods that will leave you wanting to stick around and mingle with the hipsters all afternoon.

Becky, our very knowledgable guide, was able to provide both a historical and artistic tour. This mix of the history of the East end and how art acts as part of a social movement was very impactful. Well done Becky!

Insightful introduction to the East End

This tour was a great mix of history and modern street art. Our guide, Becky, took us to so many spots we'd have never found on our own to point out epic street art that we would have never noticed. Her knowledge of the street art scene and history here is truly impressive. The street art here is always changing, with some pieces disappearing and others appearing, which means no two tours will be the same. We loved it!
