ART INSIDER, LONDON: The Art Insider walking tour is a relaxed and inspiring experience. The walk is skillfully mapped to give you the best insight possible into London's East End art scene. Along the way you'll visit the area's most exciting and stimulating galleries, and glimpse the most cutting edge art scene in Europe.
Down narrow lanes and anonymous doorways, the contemporary East London’s art scene is one of the worlds most dynamic. Go off the beaten track and discover the spaces and galleries which will produce the Damien Hirst and Tracey Emin of the future.
Just east of London's financial district, and even 15 years ago a scruffy wasteland, the early 1990s marked the start of a transformation for the East End. Artists and dealers, attracted by low rents and derelict warehouses, moved in to make the neighbourhood their own. Today, it plays a pivotal role in the world's contemporary art scene.
The Art Insider half-day tour starts in the hip enclave of Hoxton, the epicentre of contemporary bohemia, and continues a little further south into Brick Lane and Spitalfields. You will explore some of London's most interesting, innovative and unique galleries.
Your Insider Art Guide will be on hand to offer insight as you wind your way through artists' exhibits. The London Art Insider walking tour is a fascinating glimpse into the East End's refreshing and sometimes brash artistic community.
For contemporary art lovers and enthusiasts Art Insider can be extended to a full-day. You will cross the city from the edgier East End to the more established and refined galleries and spaces in the West End of London. Email london@urbangentry.com for more details.
