Leake Street
I had heard of Leake Street Arches near Waterloo Station, so today, prior to a shopping trip to Oxford Street, I went to investigate.
Leake Street, also known as the Banksy Tunnel, is where graffiti is tolerated regardless of the fact it is against the law. The street is about 300 metres long and runs under the platforms and tracks of Waterloo station.
The walls are decorated with graffiti, initially created during the Cans Festival organised by Banksey in May 2008.
It was a sight to behold and there were a few artists adding their work as I walked through.
