5K STREET ART TOUR
Explore Shoreditch's most vibrant street art on a 5k guided running tour every Wednesday morning.
It was great to learn about the different artists and try and spot a few on the way round. Vanessa, as always, was terrific. Thank you for a great morning in the East End of London.
Caroline Dunleavy, Wimbledon
