Recent reviews of Graffiti Experience London

  • 5/5 from Lynn Strang, attended Oct 2026: This was a fantastic experience for our group of 6 friends. Our host Alan was super friendly and engaging, extremely knowledgeable and himself active in the street art community, and highly professional. He had many great stories about the artists and the techniques they employ to share, and showed us some memorable classics. Toward the end he set us up with the equipment and the encouragement to have a go ourselves, and we all really enjoyed this. TOP TIP: wear clothes and shoes that it’s OK to splatter a bit of paint on, just in case!
  • 4/5 from Joëlle Vetter, attended Sep 2026: Schutzanzüge wären toll gewesen. Ein Guide hat etwas sehr leise gesprochen und mit starkem Akzent, was nicht war für nicht-Muttersprachler. Ansonsten tolle Erfahrung. Wir kommen wieder mit einer Klasse.
  • 4/5 from Lily Daselva, attended Sep 2026: Alan was great, very informed and a knowledgeable guide/ artist. I've lived in London for 30 years and I never knew much about street art and it's scale. This was definitely eye opening. I was thinking that it cost more ££ than I would have liked to pay, but we got gifted x2 cans of spray paint to be creative. I'd recommend the experience!
  • 5/5 from Ana Khan, attended Aug 2026: Catherine and Alan of Cockney Green were absolutely fantastic hosts! I could not recommend them or their classes enough. Both are working artists, and Catherine (sorry if misspelt!) is an art teacher with many years of experience, including with neurodivergent children. They took us around the Leake Road tunnels telling us about prominent works of art by established and unknown artists; they told us about the history of the place, and explained about the techniques and subcultures of graffiti artists. It was absolutely enthralling to learn about the street art culture from two people who have been actively involved in the scene their whole lives. From simply an anthropological/sociological perspective alone, I found it brilliant, but as a distinct art form in itself it was totally fascinating. Alan and Catherine’s knowledge of street art was excellent. They were very friendly and so easy to talk to. We each got to learn how to work with spray paint, as they guided each of us, helping us to make beautiful pieces of art to take home, and of course making our marks on Leake’s tunnels themselves. Our family had such a great time! If you are looking for a fun, unique day with the family I would urge you to definitely book this workshop. We loved every minute of it!
  • 5/5 from Max Bispham, attended Aug 2026: I wasn't really sure what to expect and how good this would be. It was so much FUN! We were in a small group and after a short briefing got started. Cockney Green is a consummate graffiti artist with a passion for sharing his skill. He took a group of novices and showed them seamlessly how to begin to explore their imagination and artistry. This was excellent value for money and exceeded my expectations. Thank you
  • 5/5 from Kelly Kane, attended Jul 2026: Friendly, knowledgeable and experienced guidance. A fantastic way to be creative! A really teenage-friendly activity (Perfect for when theyre too old to enjoy kids stuff but too young for age restrictions)
  • 5/5 from Jaime Jones, attended Jul 2026: I booked this as a present for Father’s Day and my family thoroughly enjoyed it. They learnt so much. Thanks for giving them a lovely experience and special memories.
  • 5/5 from Jodie Keating, attended Jul 2026: The teacher was fantastic, she is so good at teaching that we grasped the concepts and had fun all at the same time. A brilliant way to spend time in London.
  • 5/5 from Tim Woods, attended Jun 2026: Fantastic graffiti lesson for our two daughters, lovely informative tour to start with followed by a graffiti lesson in line work, stencilling and creating a unique piece on the tunnel walls, the girls got to bring home a memento that they painted onto a cardboard background which will be treasured
  • 5/5 from Juan Pablo Charris, attended Jun 2026: We had an absolute blast! Alan is incredibly knowledgeable about the history of Leak Street and his passion for graffiti is truly infectious. He made the tour engaging, informative and great fun. The highlight was getting the chance to create our own graffiti artwork at the end. I was proud of what I made! I’d highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for something unique and creative in London.
  • 5/5 from Morven Burden, attended Jun 2026: Amazing class - great to learn more about graffiti and try it for yourself. So good I would even go again!
  • 5/5 from Vaiva Paci, attended Jun 2026: We had an amazing graffiti experience with both kids and adults, and it was truly one of the highlights of our trip. Alan was a fantastic teacher—friendly, entertaining, and incredibly engaging throughout the session. He made everyone feel welcome and encouraged creativity, regardless of age or artistic ability. The workshop was fun, hands-on, and well organised. Alan explained the techniques clearly and kept the group laughing while helping us create our own graffiti artwork. The kids loved getting involved, and the adults enjoyed it just as much. I would highly recommend this experience to families, groups of friends, or anyone looking for a unique and memorable activity. Thank you, Alan, for making it such a fun and inspiring experience!
  • 5/5 from David Beaman, attended May 2026: Kathryn and Alan were amazing! This workshop was super fun. We started with about a 20 min tour of the tunnel with great info on some of the artists as well as the different styles being used throughout. Then we learned how to use the paint can to get the desired look - such as fat or skinny line. I’m still working on the thin lines- it’s not as easy as it looks. I absolutely love the energy of this place and if you don’t know that the ‘Leak street arches’ are here you could easily miss it as it’s kinda hidden. The art is constantly changing as people come in and paint new stuff everyday. I’ve been to this place during the day and also walked through a couple times late at night (as late as 2am) and it always feels safe. All in all this was an amazing experience that I 100% recommend. Check out my pic of my name -Dave. It could still be there today. One thing to note if you’re trying to book within 48 hours be sure to email them. Usually online booking gets closed at that point only because they want to keep control of how many folks can sign up and make sure that everyone gets an amazing experience. Again, thank you to Kathryn and Alan for exceeding my expectations. This was completely worth it and more than five stars.
  • 5/5 from Sophie Taylor-Lewis, attended May 2026: This was a corporate team event with around 10 people. The whole group absolutely loved it, we had a tour of the tunnel and the art, painted our own canvases and then did a team wall art paining. Alan and Kathryn were so kind and helpful, accommodating extra people, keeping our bags safe and really making the experience fun for everyone with their knowledge and chat! We really enjoyed the whole experience, and would definitely return :)
  • 5/5 from Rachel L, attended Apr 2026: Amazing! I can't recommend this experience enough, I bought it for my husband and daughter and they loved it from start to finish. Alan is really knowledgable about the history of the art in the arches and was really engaging on the tour. Kathryn is also so lovely and a talented artist. The instruction given was clear and they both got going on their art straight away, taking on the techniques they were taught. A wonderful experience for kids and adults alike with genuinely warm, friendly instructors. Thanks for a great time!
  • 5/5 from Onkar Bhatt, attended Apr 2026: The experience was very very cool, Alan and Catherine were super helpful and informative adding more depth to the experience. The kids loved it, we loved it, would highly recommend! Such a cool spot and very creative vibes all round. So happy we’ve ticked this off the bucket list!
  • 5/5 from Ania Maluszynska, attended Mar 2026: Wonderful experience for my daughter’s 11th birthday! We had such a brilliant time and the kids loved it. They were fully engaged throughout the whole experience from the initial tour, the tagging with pens, the spraying with cans creating their own art on the walls and making their personalised tote bags. Such a cool and unique place and something we will always remember.
  • 5/5 from Kanya Coleman-Adu, attended Mar 2026: Very fun class and we learnt a lot about graffiti it was very interesting
  • 5/5 from Cleo Lyn, attended Mar 2026: It was so much fun, the fact you get to learn how to spray paint in different ways and then get try something out is very cool. Both Kathryn and Adam were really helpful and knowledgeable and will definitely be coming back soon
  • 5/5 from Vicki Bugden, attended Feb 2026: We really enjoyed the experience, the teachers were lovely and really knowledgable had a great chat with them. Booked it for Christmas and used it as a date day and loved it. Would highly recommend it xxx

At Cockney Green, we believe in the power of creativity to connect, uplift and transform. Based in London, our team of artists specialises in immersive and hands-on art experiences — from graffiti and street-art workshops to printing parties, mindful art sessions, window-painting and bespoke mural work. Whether you’re a birthday group, a school class, a corporate team or simply someone looking to explore your creative side, we bring everything you need: premium materials, expert guidance, lively venues (or we come to you), and a truly fun and supportive atmosphere. Join us and step into a space where your ideas take shape, your voice gets heard, and your inner artist comes alive.
My Story
I’m Kathryn McGuinness, founder and creative lead at Cockney Green. I began life as a Londoner with a passion for what art can do — not just as decoration, but as a tool for wellbeing, connection and self-expression. Over the years I came to realise that many people feel daunted by “doing art” (thinking you have to be naturally gifted) or are locked out of creative opportunities altogether. I wanted to change that.
In 2019 I teamed up with fellow artist Alan Davies and together we built Cockney Green from the ground up: designing our mobile graffiti boards, sourcing high-quality materials, finding inspiring venues in London (including legal graffiti tunnels and art spaces) and developing workshops that bring colour, fun and confidence to everyone, regardless of age or ability. We launched birthday parties, school sessions, holiday camps, team-building experiences and community murals — all rooted in the belief that “all art is healing”.

Since then we’ve painted windows for seasonal displays, delivered mindful-art and print-making classes, and teamed up with organisations to bring creative wellbeing to new audiences. Our philosophy is simple: creativity is for everyone, it opens doors, connects people, and when you leave one of our sessions you don’t just take home a piece of art — you take home a boost in confidence, a shared memory, and a bit of your own bold mark on the world.
Whether you’re looking for a joyful one-off workshop or a deeper creative journey, I’ll be there with spray-cans, stencils, hot-presses for t-shirts and tote bags, lots of colour and, most importantly, a belief that you can create something brilliant. Let’s get messy, make something bold, laugh a little, learn a lot — and create together.
