The Alternative London Tour

This is a brilliant, brilliant way of getting a different perspective on the capital and learning about East London’s alternative art and history. The best thing is, it’s free of charge! I loved the fact that the tour guide was a graffiti artist himself, so you really get an authentic sense of passion and insider knowledge about street and graffiti art. These guys know their stuff, so much so that by the end of the tour, you’re more than happy to give a decent donation.
Mini tip: This is quite a long walking tour and 100% outdoors with little cover, so I would suggest trying to book a day that’s not raining.

Great tour. It is fun, it is interesting, Gary clearly researched his subject and knows is stuff, even more he is passionate about it. Go, go, go don’t miss out. There is so much too see, so much that we miss in the city rush. With the night walk you add the great atmosphere, and you get to see shutters art too.

‘A Quirky Street Art Tour’ It’s addictive and not to be missed!
I’m a Londoner (now living in Bristol) but on one of my frequent trips back to London I saw a different side to the East End on this guided two hour tour, which I hadn’t noticed before (well not in so much detail anyway).
Gary our guide was very friendly, funny, knowledgeable and passionate about street art and the East End.
He manages to cover an array of topics apart from the street art,(fantastic took some great photos) he also includes community issues, social ethics/​politics and the local history of the East End, which was extremely informative to discuss with him. The street art is forever changing.
You pay what you think the tour is worth and it’s worth every penny. Gary deserves all the recognition he has received and will be certainly going on this tour again sometime.
