London street art prints, photos and books
London has one of the most visible scenes in Europe. Shoreditch in East London is known for street art, with walls, shutters and side streets that change constantly. Banksy is also widely associated with the UK scene, which helps explain why London street art attracts so much attention online. This category brings together prints, photos, books and souvenirs connected to the city.
What you find in this category
- London street art prints: posters, giclées and screenprints of London motifs, from decorative open runs to small numbered releases.
- Shoreditch street art: photos, postcards and prints of walls in and around Shoreditch.
- London graffiti photos: photographs of walls, trains and alleys, sold framed or unframed.
- London street art books: photo books and walking guides that document the city's walls and artists.
Many items are photos, prints, books and souvenirs. Listings that mention Banksy are often offset posters or reproductions rather than works released by the artist, so check carefully what is actually on offer.
What to check before you buy
For any piece of London street art, the key questions are who made it, how many copies exist and what condition it is in. A photo of a Shoreditch wall can be a lovely keepsake, but it is not the same as a print released by the artist, and the price should reflect that difference. For Banksy works in particular, Pest Control is the artist's official authentication body, and claims without its paperwork deserve caution.
- Ask for close-up photos of the signature, any numbering and the back of the work.
- Treat "in the style of", "after" or "inspired by" as a sign the piece is not by the artist named.
- Be careful with anything described as taken from a wall. A street piece removed from a building raises legal and ethical questions.
- Check paper items for creases, stains, tape marks and fading.
- Keep receipts, gallery invoices and any paperwork that comes with the item, since documented history matters when you sell later.
