Highly Recommended - Brilliant walking tour. Laura was the perfect guide. The depth of insight in to the art and artists while still making it a fun couple of hours was the perfect blend. Added bonus of being around the Spitalfields market/brick lane so lots of places to get food before /afterwards plus we got to learn about the local area as well .

Fun and unique! - This tour ended up being one of our favorite tours from our trip! We explored a part of London we probably never would have explored and we loved learning about a community other than the Royal Family.

Great tour, even in the rain! - Our guide Josh was excellent; qualified in fine arts while also a passionate graffiti / street art advocate. The tour wasn’t just informative and entertaining, we got to appreciate how this (sub?) culture promotes inclusivity and open mindedness. Would highly recommend.

Fun day touring street art - Ava did a great job telling us about the art and artists. She was also careful to keep the sidewalk open and to keep us out of the street!

Off the beaten path and definitely worth it. - Our tour guide, Gabriela, was lovely. She really knew her stuff, and she was quite entertaining. This was a bit off the beaten path, but definitely worth it. My husband and I soaked up a lot of interesting details at a comfortable pace.

interesting and entertaining tour - The tour with Alternative London was very interesting and entertaining. The selection of artworks, the background knowledge about the work and the artist, and the small talk in between made the time fly by. Many thanks again to the Alternative London team... we would do it again anytime.
