Leake Street Arches

Leake Street Arches is a vibrant cultural hub located beneath Waterloo Station in London, famous for its ever-evolving display of street art and graffiti. Often referred to as the "Banksy Tunnel" due to its association with the renowned street artist, Leake Street became a canvas for graffiti artists following Banksy's "Cans Festival" in 2008. The tunnel has since become one of London's most famous spots for legal street art. The arches are not just about art; they have been transformed into a destination filled with creative spaces, independent bars, restaurants, and event venues. Visitors can enjoy the dynamic energy of the street art scene, while also taking in the lively atmosphere of the local eateries and cultural events that take place in this unique urban setting. Leake Street Arches offers an exciting blend of underground culture, creativity, and social buzz — making it a must-visit spot for those looking to experience a different side of London’s artistic and cultural landscape.
