About

Lon­don's Leake Street, nick­named the "Graf­fi­ti Tun­nel," is a street art lover's par­adise. This au­tho­rized out­door gallery, es­tab­lished by the leg­endary Banksy, stretch­es for an im­pres­sive 200 me­ters un­der Wa­ter­loo sta­tion. Wit­ness a con­stant­ly evolv­ing ex­plo­sion of col­or and cre­ativ­i­ty as artists leave their mark on every inch of the tun­nel walls. A word to the wise: plan your vis­it for the morn­ing hours. While the tun­nel at­tracts art en­thu­si­asts, it can also draw some un­sa­vory char­ac­ters lat­er in the day. Catch the best light and the safest ex­pe­ri­ence be­fore 2 PM.
