Inspiring City is a street art focused blog featuring some of the best murals, graffiti art and street artists from London across the UK.
A New Start
Since moving to the East End of London at the beginning of 2012, I soon became captivated with the eclectic mix that is the city of London. The fact that around every corner on pretty much every day of the year there is always something to see or do really captured my imagination.
It was the street art scene that first caught my eye. Always changing and featuring work from some of the top artists both locally and from around the world it turned the East End of London into an exciting outdoor canvas.
Street Art
Over the years I’ve featured shows and exhibitions, interviews with artists and generally tried to capture what I would now describe as the urban art scene. In particular I try to focus on new and emerging artists because it’s hard out there and the more publicity these talented people get the better.
But the title of the blog is Inspiring City and so that still gives me a fairly large brief in terms of things to write about so don’t be surprised if I also cover a few historic topics that take my fancy too there is after all so much to learn about in this great city
Map of all the Inspiring City Articles
This map is slowly being added to and shows the locations where we’ve been writing about. The vast majority is in London and the UK but more and more we are covering art from overseas.

Thanks for the follow! Came across your blog when I wrote mine on street art today and wanted to leave you the link, but had to rush out. Glad you found it though 🙂 Like the posts I’ve seen so far and amazing you got to interview so many of the street artists! Funny to see lots of the same photos I have in my archives, but guess we live in the same area. Should meet up one day! Could do a twin blog post 🙂
Hey no problem I like the idea of doing a twin post maybe we could collaborate on a tour 😉 Would love to meet up at some point in the East End so give me a shout on inspiringcityuk@gmail.com and we’ll sort something out 😀
