Forget art galleries, some of London’s most creative work can be seen on the streets, as graffiti artists have transformed parts of the city. From Banksy to Bambi, talented artists’ work can be found all over the capital. We’ve profiled four neighbourhoods you need to visit to see great street art.

Shoreditch

A hotspot for London graffiti artists, there’s always tons of street art to be seen in the East London area of Shoreditch. The art changes regularly but places like Rivington Street, Brick Lane and Fashion Street can always be relied on for brilliant pieces including some by Banksy. If you’ve got time to explore, pay a visit to the Princelet Street to see work by Stix or walk along Shoreditch High Street and see if you can spot the sculpted faces of Gregos Art.

Camden

This North London area is known for its music scene and urban art depicting one of it’s most famous residents, Amy Winehouse. Street artist Bambi gained national press when her portrait of Amy appeared on Camden Road, and her works have since been found all over the area. Jamestown Road and Castlehaven Road should definitely be on your hitlist if you’re walking around Camden to see art, as well as Hawley Street, where you’ll find work by Artista.

Hackney Wick

One of the hippest neighbourhood in the whole of London, Hackney Wick is bursting with street art just about everywhere you look. Walk along the Hertford Union Canal and you’ll see pieces by Sweet Toof, or head to White Post Lane and the towpath underneath it to discover more street artists than we can count. Renowned French artist Thierry Noir, the first man to paint on the Berlin wall, has also created a giant mural here which can be found on Prince Edward Road.

Brixton

Another London spot with a famous musical resident, Brixton is the place to see David Bowie-related street art. The most iconic is Jimmy C’s mural on the side of Morley’s department store, which has since been a shrine to the singer following his passing. For the very latest artwork head to Brixton Arches or Brixton Skate Park, both of which are often changing with new graffiti all the time.
