London Street Art Guide

From memorials, portraits, and statues to infamous Banksy signature pieces, London is home to a thriving street art scene. We’ve put together a short guide to the best locations for street art in the Capital. 

1.     Brick Lane 

Known for its quirky and diverse weekly market, and famous curries, Brick Lane and the surrounding roads create a treasure hunt for street art. From Commercial Street’s graffiti portraits, to the unmissable crane by Rower on Hanbury Street, this is the place in East London for street art. 
Train Station: Shoreditch High Street 

2.     Camden

Camden is one of the top tourist destinations in London and hosts a range of markets, food stalls and street art. From memorials celebrating the life of Camden regular Amy Winehouse, to murals of colourful characters from the Muppets, there is plenty to feast your eyes upon.

3.     Leake Street Tunnel 

The 300-metre tunnel underneath Waterloo Station is covered in street art, with stencil, graffiti and sprays there are a number of different styles to admire.
