1. Manchester

2. Sheffield

3. Glasgow
4. Liverpool
5. Edinburgh

7. Leeds
Instagram is awash with colourful and quirky pieces from all over Leeds. Top of the list is Graphical House, followed in second place by the Metalgear Rising Mural on Aire Street.
8. York
The home of York Minster, ancient city walls, tiny streets and the Vikings. Whilst the city may be famous for its historical past, York's street art is all about bold vibrant colours and a bit of protest.
