Street art and vintage gems

Choose what you want to see on your tour. Visit the colourfully decorated cluster of streets surrounding Shoreditch and learn about the street art and local artists who reside here. Or, if it’s wearable art you prefer, pick up a vintage bargain or two from one of the many vintage markets, boutiques and warehouses.
