Street art in London

Street art in London

From Banksy pieces to works by undiscovered artists, step outdoors to appreciate London's urban art.

Street art can be found almost everywhere in London, and it’s free for everyone to enjoy. Discover contemporary sculpture, abstract art, modern murals and quirky installations dotted across the capital.

London has one of the biggest and best collections of uncommissioned street art in the world. Local and international artists have decorated the streets of London with a staggering array of creative works, from miniature bronze statues to painted murals several storeys high.

One of the most famous street artists to date is the anonymous Banksy, whose distinctive stencil artwork has regularly appeared in London for more than a decade. Some of his art makes a hard-hitting political point, while other works of his are extremely funny; often they are both. Due to his popularity, or unpopularity in some cases, many of the original Banksy pieces are no longer visible in London.
