Brighton, a vibrant hub of music, culture, and art, has been recognised as one of the top street art destinations worldwide. As the Artists Open Houses Festival gears up for its return in May, the seaside city is already buzzing with excitement. Thanks to a recent study by Slingo, Brighton has been named alongside global street art giants, thanks to its colourful murals and creative spirit.

By analysing data from social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok, as well as Google searches over the past year, the study highlights Brighton’s artistic allure. With 57 street art pieces adorning the city centre, including the iconic Banksy’s Kissing Coppers and Insa Mansions on Victoria/Waterloo Road, Brighton’s streets are a canvas of creativity. These artworks have sparked over 100,000 Instagram and TikTok posts and nearly 10,000 Google searches, capturing the imagination of art enthusiasts worldwide.

While London tops the rankings with its renowned street art spots in Camden and Shoreditch, Brighton holds its own with its unique artistic flair. Paris follows closely, showcasing its own vibrant street art scene, particularly in Street Art Avenue in Saint-Denis.

The growing interest in UK street art is evident, with over 36,000 global Google searches annually for street art tours. TikTok, too, is abuzz with nearly 4,000 posts on street art across UK cities, including Manchester, Bristol, London, and Brighton.

Brighton’s thriving street art scene not only adds to its cultural charm but also enhances its appeal as a place to live and explore.
