Street Art expert and LW guide Pepe adds…
No. 18: Exit Through The Gift Shop
I'll go for Banksy's documentary Exit Through the Gift Shop. Loads of East and Central London locations.
Thanks Pepe. This enigmatic classic was described thus in the L.A Times: “Subversive, provocative and unexpected, "Exit Through the Gift Shop" delights in taking you by surprise, starting quietly but ending up in a hall of mirrors as unsettling as anything Lewis Carroll's Alice ever experienced. Even when you think you've figured this film out, you can't shake the notion that maybe you haven't.”
Here’s the trailer…

Pepe’s Rep Walk on Street Art has proven so popular that it’s going out every week from the 5th May. A savvy local, Pepe's got great connections – knows the scene as well as the artists themselves. His walk ends at a street artist's studio and gallery.
