About

Alternative London is a vibrant, award‑winning tour company that redefines how visitors experience London. Founded in 2010 in the East End, it offers a range of street art, bike, food, and craft‑beer adventures led by local artists and community insiders. The tours take you off the beaten track, into hidden murals, historic alleyways, and the very neighborhoods that gave London its colourful spirit. Each experience is crafted to feel authentic and immersive. Whether you join a four‑hour street‑art walk that ends with a hands‑on workshop, a 30‑minute bike tour of Shoreditch’s graffiti hotspots, or an evening food tour sampling Shoreditch’s best eats, the company blends culture, history, and community in every itinerary. Guest reviews consistently praise the knowledgeable guides, the variety of routes, and the genuine local vibe. Visitors range from families and students to culture enthusiasts who appreciate the depth and breadth of what Alternative London has to offer. Beyond tours, the company hosts workshops where participants learn stencil and spray‑painting techniques, and it holds community events through its purpose‑built studio in Shoreditch. With recognitions from TripAdvisor, Lonely Planet, and Time Out, Alternative London remains the go‑to choice for those who want to see a side of London rarely seen on guidebooks. If you’re looking to experience London’s street art, history, or culinary scenes from a local perspective, Alternative London delivers a unique, community‑centric adventure that is both educational and fun.
