This is a fun and vibrant mural that features a variety of different animals. The colour scheme is really eye-catching and it’s definitely one of the more unique murals in Graffiti Alley. The lobster with the happy chick riding on its back adds a touch of humour to the mural.

This is a beautiful and ethereal mural that depicts home painted on the side of actual houses. You can see the different elements of the mural from different angles, which makes it really interesting to look at. The yellow and black colour scheme is really stunning.
For the animal lovers out there, this mural is for you. This huge mural features a variety of different animals in a jungle setting. The level of detail in the mural is really impressive and it’s definitely one of the more unique murals in Toronto.
Kensington Market
This mural on the side of Grossman’s Tavern is iconic and has become one of the most recognizable pieces of street art in Kensington Market. The club is also known for its welcoming atmosphere and its commitment to supporting local talent.
With its rich history and a strong sense of community, it’s no wonder that Grossman’s Tavern shows no signs of slowing down.
Chinatown
If you’ve ever been to Chinatown, then you probably know about this mural. It’s one of the most popular and recognizable murals in Toronto. The mural depicts two dragons facing each other in a sea of koi. The level of detail in the mural is really impressive and it’s definitely a must-see for anyone visiting Chinatown.
This is another iconic mural in Chinatown. The mural depicts different generations of Chinese immigrants in iconic poses which you will see in everyday life.
Bloor Street West
Found on the side of the wall at the popular Japanese restaurant Kinka Izakaya, this mural is a must-see for anyone visiting Bloor Street West. The mural depicts a traditional Japanese scene of the great waves of Kanagawa with the added touch of a giant fish.
If you’re into Japanese culture, then this is the perfect mural for you.
Right beside it you’ll find a totally different mural. This one is more abstract and features what looks like a combination of different animals. Surrounding it are a lot of fun shapes and colours which makes it really eye-catching.
