Tilbury Shore Excursion: Shoreditch Street Art with Black Cab Transportation

We'll explore the hidden streets and alleyways of this vibrant East London neighbourhood, where you'll see amazing art by some of the world's best street artists such as Jimmy C, Hunto, and Jim Vision. From small, hidden pieces to huge murals covering whole buildings—there's something here for everyone.

Tilbury to Central London

Step off your ship and straight into a classic London icon. We’ll meet you right at Tilbury Port in your own private Black Cab for a seamless and comfortable transfer to the heart of the capital. Your driver, Shane Healy—a qualified Westminster Guide—knows these streets better than anyone and will point out a few interesting snippets and landmarks as the city unfolds during your journey.

Upon arrival, you’ll meet your dedicated guide, Lee Cooper, to begin your exploration of London’s historic streets. Although this is primarily a walking tour, you have the unique advantage of having Shane and the cab remain on hand throughout the tour. This provides peace of mind and flexibility; you can hop back into the cab for a quick rest, whisk away to a landmark slightly further afield, or easily navigate areas where steps and uneven pavement might pose a challenge. Whether you choose to follow Lee’s expert route or customise your own, you have the ultimate support team to ensure you see London exactly how you want to.

Discover the Street Art of London's Shorditch

We'll see intricate pieces high up on buildings, tags on car park walls, and everything in between. You'll see a variety of street art styles, including spray can, stencil, paste up, and even installation pieces. And you'll definitely see the weird and the wonderful including work by the ‘Broccoli Man’ who uses broccoli to create colourful artworks, which have recently gone viral.

We'll also take in the vibrant Brick Lane, famous for its curry houses, bagel shops and the newly opened Gilbert & George Centre. And we'll finish our tour at the Truman Brewery, an eclectic mix of galleries, fashion, vintage clothes, and street food. The original brewery has its roots in the 17th century and by the mid 1800s—under the name of the Black Eagle Brewery—it produced a whopping 400,000 barrels of beer per year. Cheers!

So join us for a unique and unforgettable experience of Shoreditch's street art scene, whilst soaking up the unique atmosphere of this bustling area of London’s edgy East End.

Return to Tilbury

After your London experience, Shane will escort you back to Tilbury Port. We'll coordinate the return journey to ensure you arrive with plenty of time before your ship sails.
