Themed around 'Connection' some of the biggest names in street art will present 100 thought-provoking and inspiring murals - adding to the 75 produced for the inaugural edition in 2020.

"Most of the 75 murals painted at our first edition four years ago still look great, and we hope the 100 murals we’re adding will last as long! The hard work, talent and love pouring out of the festival is unmatched.” Rose Wangen-Jones MD of visitlondon.com added: "We’re really excited to be welcoming back London’s biggest celebration of street art this September.
