Shoreditch Tour - Street Art, Street Cred

A mecca for some of the world's greatest street artists, Shoreditch is one of London's edgiest neighbourhoods. Join Henri for a glimpse of the latest art to adorn the streets, and an insight into the area's rich and varied history - its home to Shakespeare's first theatre, the grave of Romantic poet William Blake, a private Mafia bank and a secret M15 detention centre.

This is one of six itineraries from Unseen Tours, an award-winning, not-for-profit social enterprise that offers alternative walking tours through London's most vibrant and interesting neighbourhoods, led by homeless and formerly homeless guides, including Henri.

As well as winning a Responsible Tourism Award and an Observer Ethical Award, tours get excellent reviews on Tripadvisor and offer a unique insight into London life - while giving visibility and a voice to people who often feel unseen and unheard.
