London is full of art, but not all of it is found in galleries — you can find much of it in the streets. It’s easy to wander London and be surprised by some unexpected art.
The Leake Street Arches is the largest expanse of legal graffiti/street art anywhere in London. The art here changes frequently, and you can even add to the walls yourself.
Shoreditch is a go-to London neighborhood for street art. Longtime standouts murals include "A Couple Holding Hands in the Street" by Stik and "Crane" by ROA, a Belgium artist.
Camden is another popular urban art destination. London's largest mural is at The Megaro Hotel near King's Cross Station, painted in 2012 by members of "Agents of Change."
One of the famous artist Banksy’s works, the "Falling Shopper," can be found high on a wall on Bruton Lane. A more colorful piece from 2024 is on the Christie Court building.
