Leake Street Tunnel
I am a huge fan of some street art. I find it wildly impressive what can be created with a can of spray paint, so when I heard about Leake Street Tunnel I knew I would be making a stop during my trip to London.
So what is this place? It is ultimately a tunnel that is covered from floor to ceiling with art located in Waterloo.
While I only explored the tunnel itself, there is also bars and restaurants to be explored. The tunnel came to be when Banksy organized a festival in which 30 artists came together to cover the tunnel in art. This was in 2008. Now, the tunnel is constantly evolving with artist bringing their work to life on the tunnel walls.
I highly recommend making a quick stop at Leake Street Tunnel. Whether you are an art lover or just want a rad background for an Instagram photo, I'm sure you wont be disappointed.
