London: Alternative Tours

Finally a new blog post about London. My last one was on coffee places in town, which can be found here. This time it's about Alternative Tours and like the name itself says, it's a bit different from those standard bus tours. Unfortunately I didn't have the chance to try them out myself as I only found out about it a week before I had to leave. However, the next time I'm in London I definately want to go on one of these tours, cause they sound fantastic and I've heard loads of good about it.

The Alternative London Walking Tour 
This is our original tour which was established to showcase East London's incredible creativity whilst giving insights into important historical and cultural events that have made the area what it is today. Even though this is much more than just a London street art tour, you are guaranteed to see a huge range of artwork from around forty artists per tour. Street art by nature constantly changes, which in turn means that our tours also change and evolve on a very regular basis. This guarantees that a tour with us will always feel fresh.

They do have two other walking tours as well, namely a market tour and a pub tour and they also have several biking tours, but the Alternative Walking tour is the one that really seems interesting to me. I would love to see some of the street art and actually be told a little about it as I would have no clue myself half of the time what I would be exactly looking at. You can find more information on their website and for a small impression, have a look at the video below. Let me know if these kind of tours would be something that would interest you.
