Street Art in Brick Lane and Shoreditch, London

Street Art in Brick Lane London

London is known to be one of the world's best capital cities for street art. Whether it is South Bank, East Dulwich, Hackney Wick, Brick Lane or the Nomadic Community Garden, you will find street art in a variety of styles - tags, stencils, posters, stickers and masterpieces. Some pieces are simple while some are exceedingly awesome. A while back, we explored Brick Lane and Shoreditch to see some of London's best street art. There are a number of street art walking tours - both free and paid - but we had plans to explore some other areas so we did it on our own. It was fun! Have a look at some of our favourite pieces below.


Street Art in Brick Lane


Brick Lane extends from Bethnal Green to Whitechapel passing through Shoreditch. Famous for its curry houses, Brick Lane is also equally popular for its street art. Just a quick walk around the streets in Brick Lane will reveal a myriad of murals and art works. Almost every street in this area hosts some really cool street art. We wandered around for much longer than we had originally planned, stopping to admire beautiful art work and enjoying this open-air art gallery!
