If you're interested in graffiti, or secretly fancy yourself as the next Banksy, then how about a street art tour around the East End followed by a spray-painting session?
Which neighbourhoods are included in the tour?
The tour will be led by an actual street artist, or a street art expert, and take you off the-beaten-track around some of London's grittiest neighbourhoods.
You'll be walking the side streets and alleyways of Spitalfields, Shoreditch and Hoxton, where you'll hear the stories behind dozens of significant works.
Which artists will you see during the tour?
The tour will include artworks by the likes of Banksy, Shepherd Fairy, ROA, Jimmy C, Invader, Stik and many more, and feature in-situ street art, huge wall murals, examples of intricate stencilling, and even some mini-masterpieces painted on discarded pieces of chewing gum.
Create some art in a spray painting workshop

After the walking part of the tour is over you will be taken inside a ventilated studio to attend a 40-minute workshop on the basics of spray painting, and how to cut a stencil.
You'll then put your new skills to the test by making your very own artwork on a piece of card (or you can upgrade to a canvas bag or t-shirt) and take it home with you.
