Brighton Street Art

About

Having earned itself an international reputation over the last few years for its stunning and original street artwork dotted around the city, Brighton & Hove is certainly a mecca for the creative.

Banksy's 'Kissing Policemen', which once adorned the wall of a pub near Brighton station and sold for £345,000 to a buyer on the other side of the world (a replica still exists), was just the start and today if as you wander around the city you are likely to stumble upon an impressive pieces of street art, bringing colour, humour and vibrancy to many of the pubs, cafes and shops in the city. Featuring fantastic murals, colourful representations, and quirky characters street art lovers have brought an incredible artistic vibe and feel to Brighton.​​ 

Street Art areas

The North Laine is a creative hub with artworks on most of the streets and even over the cable boxes. Work by The Postman (a Brighton based street art duo, who are behind the epic paste-ups of Marylin Monroe and Basquiat) can be spotted across the city with most of their work being found in Kemptown, London Road and Elder Place.  Don't miss the chance to visit to the Unbarred Tap Room, Elder Place, home to an ever-changing mixture of artworks, or to take a stroll through Hanningtons Lane, or an amble up Sydney Street, Trafalgar Street or to the Open Market, to see various street art murals along the way.

Please note that while Brighton & Hove celebrate the talent and creativity of street art they do not support or condone 'tagging'. If you see any tagging or offensive graffiti, then please report it to Brighton & Hove City Council so that it can be removed.
