Our gide named Doug showed and told us what street art is in (east) london. He was very funny and explained us à little about the historical and demagraphical changes of the neighbourhood. I highly recommand this tour since it gives you the opportunity to see some part off london that you would never see otherwise. This was just fantastic,... More

This was a great tour with fantastic guides who were happy to have a bear with us after. Perfect for lovers of street art or people like myself who know nothing about street art. I now find myself looking for it and analyzing it throughout different cities in Europe. There is also some interesting history about London's east thrown in.

Our tour guide Doug was very knowledgeable and friendly, a perfect mix of factual information and opinions on what we were viewing. The fact that he seemed to genuinely enjoy what he was doing, the enthusiasm and... More

I did the street art tour and it was fantastic. The guide on the tour was Keir, a likeable and interesting guy who made the tour very enjoyable with his knowledge of the history of the East end of London along with the actual art (his history knowledge was vast and I'd bet many Eastenders would not know as much...

The Alternative London Tour company's East London Street Art tour is fantastic! Dougie was our tour guide - extremely knowledgeable and personable. I did this on my first day in London and it was a great experience. The tour gives you a bit of London history, an exposure to some diverse culture, a sense of London geography and of course,...

This was one of the things I planned for my wife's birthday in March this year and we were not disappointed. It was recommended by a colleague who had done it and said it was totally worth it. Well, he was right. Our guide, Ben, took us on a really interesting journey through some of East London's best street art,... More

Excellent tour of one of London's facinating, but under-rated areas. The tour was passionate, informative, funny and engaging. It certainly kept my friends and I entertained for the full 2 hours of the walk. There is an interesting undertone of the history of the area running throughout, but the real star of the show is all the amazing, diverse and... More
