The Rise of Street Art in the UK: How Peckham Paintbox Supports Graffiti Culture
At Peckham Paintbox, we’ve seen graffiti evolve from underground expression to one of the most influential visual languages in the UK. From walls to galleries, festivals to storefronts, street art is everywhere — and it’s here to stay. As a dedicated graffiti supply store, mural agency, and workshop provider based in Peckham Rye, we’re proud to be part of that movement.
Whether you’re an experienced artist, a creative business owner, or someone curious about graffiti culture, our goal is to make graffiti more accessible, professional, and community-driven.
Graffiti as a Movement – Not Just a Medium
What started as a raw form of self-expression has grown into a respected and diverse creative discipline. Across the UK, street art is shaping the aesthetic of our cities. You’ll find murals transforming estates, shops, schools, festivals, restaurants — even office spaces.
From hyper-realistic portraits to wildstyle lettering, graffiti offers a visual impact that few other art forms can match. And as more people embrace its creative and commercial power, the demand for mural artists in London and across the UK continues to rise.
Supplying the Culture: Premium Graffiti Supplies in London
Our shop in Peckham Rye is stocked with the tools that fuel this movement. We supply spray paint, markers, ink, caps, and everything else artists need to create bold, professional-quality work.
We carry leading brands like MTN, Molotow, Flame, Loop, and more — chosen for reliability, colour range, and performance. Whether you're a first-time writer or an established muralist, we’ve got the kit to match your style.
For those outside London, our online graffiti shop ships paint and supplies across the UK with fast delivery. If you're searching for where to buy spray paint in the UK, we've got you covered.
Graffiti for Businesses, Schools & Communities
At Peckham Paintbox, we’re not just here to sell paint — we’re here to paint too. Our mural agency creates bespoke graffiti murals for businesses, events, schools, and private clients across London and beyond.
From branding walls and restaurant interiors to festival backdrops and community art projects, our work brings colour and character to any space. We collaborate closely with every client, blending creativity with purpose.
Whether you want a high-energy piece for your venue or an iconic wall for your campaign, we’ll design and deliver a mural that captures attention.
Education Through Spray: Graffiti Workshops & Live Events
We also run off-site graffiti workshops for corporate team building, youth programs, schools, and kids' events. These hands-on sessions teach the basics of graffiti and street art — from sketching to can control — all led by professional artists.
Workshops are designed to encourage creativity, teamwork, and confidence. No experience is needed, and we provide all the materials.
Want to add something special to your event? We also offer live graffiti painting and interactive mural walls for festivals, brand activations, and parties — turning your space into a street art experience in real time.
