Good morning folks and happy Sunday!
This week we decided to show you something you can do near our store for less than a fiver, for £3.95 to be exact, that’s right! For only £3.95 you can do this too, firstly we booked a free graffiti tour, there’s so many around London, we used London With a Local, but there’s a lot of places offering these tours, then we grabbed ourselves a cookie and a coffee (for £3.95) and off we went!
A shot of our coffee and cookie before we took off
Firstly we went to the meeting point which was at Shoreditch High Street Station, we got to admire some of the street art around there before we set off
We got to view some amazing artworks, including this one called ‘connectivity’
Our tour guide Rob was really lovely and knew so much about everything
This was one of our favourite pieces
This piece was by an artist called David Steele, you can actually spot one of his pieces opposite our store!
We loved this Stik leaning on the side of the building
We also had a moment of appreciation for Stik's little frog friend
One of the 3 different Banksy's we saw on the tour
There was also this entire wall of stickers and posters
We loved this dinosaur, nicknamed Crunchy, by artist Ronzo
So there you have it folks! This week why not do this yourself? Book a slot, put on some comfortable trainers (as the tour is generally about 2 hours), then get your cookie and coffee and go! There were so many other wonderful pieces we didn’t feature, and this is such a small snippet of the many pieces we saw that you really have to see it all. If street art isn’t your thing either there’s so many other free street tours that these companies do just waiting for you to book them
Have a great week folks, and Happy Pride Month to all our LGBTQ+ followers!
