London Street Art Photography Tour for Two
About this experience
Take a tour of the streets and street art of London, following an expert guide through the early afternoon as they take you both into East London for a course on photographic creativity.
You’ll start off from Old Street Underground Station, heading into the arty world of East London where practically any surface can be a canvas of one kind or another. You’ll hear about some of the artists that are active in the area while being taught how to get the most out of your chosen cameras to capture every bit of light or colour you want to show off.
From smaller tags to larger pieces and murals, there’s a surprising world of art and complexity to the street art scene. Not all of it might be to your taste, but subjectivity is what art’s all about. Whatever help you both need to get your pictures looking their best, your guide is there to help! You’ll also receive a Banksy Street Art Book as a souvenir.

“An epic day out ”
Had a great time at Grizedale Forest GoApe. There is a good mix of activities in the treetop challenge including some epic zip wires. Definitely was pushed out of my comfort zone but always felt safe. The kids in our group loved it. There can be a bit of waiting around between the platforms. Our experience lasted well over three hours from start to finish so allow plenty of time. A very good value experience.
What's Included
- A 2 hour walking tour for two through Shoreditch, Hoxton and Brick Lane to see some street art
- Learn how to take the best pics possible using whatever digital camera you have to hand
- Whether you’re a beginner or looking to take the next step in your skills, your guide will help you both
- Discover some of the local artists plying their trade on the London streets
- Complimentary Banksys Street Art Book (one book per couple)
- Experience gift pack including personalised voucher and message card
What happens on the day?
The experience will begin in the concourse of Old Street Underground station where you will meet your guide
and begin the tour. The concourse is the main hub in the centre of the station that connects the underground to the subway exits. The meeting point is around Lennies Bagel Shop.
There'll be a short briefing to determine everyone’s individual skill levels – if you need help, just ask and the guide will be happy to oblige.
Any digital camera is welcome, a 50mm lens advised to take in some of the bigger pieces, but whatever you have on hand will be fine. You’ll wind from Old Street though Shoreditch and Hoxton to end at Brick Lane after a roughly 2 hour walking, talking and pic snapping tour. It’s an all-weather walk, so dress appropriately!
