A word from your host
Gary
Our collective of young artists and creative's founded London's first ever street art tour after being actively involved in East London's creative community for many years.
We are considered some of the foremost experts of this ever-changing scene and every artist featured on the tour has either exhibited in our street art gallery, worked with us on projects, or is in fact your host themselves!
Many of the murals in the area have been produced as part of our ongoing mural project, so you will get the background info and stories from us you won't find anywhere else.

This is top notch. Would absolutely recommend. We did this tour 12 years ago and also last week. Josh had so much knowledge and also taught us the different type of art, graffiti, stickers and stencil street art etc. Ver knowledgeable and extremely interesting guide. Thank you so much
Emma Brogan
Really interesting tour and part of London. Our guide, Natalie, was very friendly, funny and knowledgeable. Not only did we learn about the street art but also a bit about the history of the area. Would recommend booking.

Such a great tour for my first time in London. Laura was amazing teaching us about each artist and the history that came with it. If ever in London make sure to book your tour with Alternative London ❤️
Caitlin Bryant
10/10–the tour guide, Josh, was great. He is an artist himself and had such a great perspective on street art and local knowledge. I would totally go for a pint with him, any day.

It was a great tour, our guide Gabi showed us places and “things” you won’t find on your own. Beautiful places, arts, little details. You’ll feel the love of him to all of the art, to the city district Eastend. I choose this tour to get more of the alternativ city of London. Not the mainstream things. I liked it very much and get a lot impressions. I will come back! Sure. Get a great streetartist, dear Gabi , I wish it for you!
