Hosier Lane

Possibly the most famous of Melbourne’s laneways, Hosier lane is plastered with striking and colourful street art.

The space is constantly being painted over so there is no point in listing anything noteworthy. Look for political commentary, something Melbourne is famous for. It’s entirely possible you’ll hear the rattle of a spray as an artist makes an addition to the constantly evolving canvas. Don't forget to check out Rutledge lane which runs off Hosier.

The laneway once boasted a work by Banksy. However, it was accidently removed by Melbourne City Council.

Hosier Lane is probably the most popular of the city’s laneways and is often crowded . If you’re looking for something similar that isn’t crowded with tourists, check out Union Lane.

Turn right at the end and take the next right onto Chapter House lane to return to Flinders Lane and take a left. Cross Swanston street and enter Cathedral Arcade on the ground level of the Nicholas building.
