Seeing as our Street Art Community Project in Penge and Anerley (SE20) aka SprayExhibition20 has thus far exceeded our wildest expectations and there are now some 120 artworks to be seen around town we thought we would put together a free Street Art Guide to Penge and Anerley. This walk will take you about 3-4 hours (depending how long you stop to admire the artwork and take photos along the way) and starts a short walk from either Penge East or Anerley Station – If arriving in Anerley start the tour at step 8 and follow through.. Our walk begins and ends at Penge East Station, where the art trail commences as soon as you leave the station and can be completed in 18 easy steps. We would also suggest taking the tour on a Sunday in order to have the best chance of catching the dozen or so shutters that have been painted down and in all their glory.
1: Exit Penge East Station and turn left into St Johns Road where the Street Art trail begins with a trio of works by Artista, Chinagirl Tile & Alice Pasquini.

Hi Christine, lovely to hear you enjoy all of the work the artists have kindly placed up around town. Plenty more to come soon.
Mind if i repost this on my Facebook page? its good stuff mate, nice one.
Go for it man. Cheers.
Well done, what you’ve achieved in Penge is fantastic. I’ve enjoyed watching the artists and exploring SE20. It’s even better now I know that Penge East is only 12 minutes from Brixton…….
Thanks Spike, and for all the help you have offered in getting the project as far as it is now!
I’m never likely to follow this route on the ground but enjoyed the virtual tour, thanks. An impressive variety of styles and themes.
Such a great walk – brilliant way to spend an hour wandering the newest outdoor gallery in penge
Hey New Art Rioter, remember when it took just an hour to see all the Street Art in Penge?
So cool that the road is called Evelina
We bumped into you earlier today just as we were coming up Maple Street doing this tour. Saw almost everything here, this blog post was essential!
Hey, we met by Aspire’s Bluejay in Maple Road? Thanks for the kind comments, always nice to hear the guide is useful. We update it with each new work added to town.
Gotta Say this is the first time the SE20 community mag has led me to anything worth seeing!
The SE20 Community Magazine does a lot of great work about town and has certainly been exceptionally supportive of the project. You should keep an eye on it more.
I’ve seen a couple of these by accident and didn’t realise there were so many. Absolutely brilliant.
Glad you like what you have accidentally stumbled upon
I love it absolutely wonderful, but do you charge the shops for your job or not
Love the artwork really brightens up the place
HI Andrew. thank you for taking the time to say that. glad you love the artworks around Penge.
