One of the capital’s coolest spots for street art since Banksy made his mark here, Leake Street’s restored railway arches are now home to a collection of bars, restaurants and creative spaces. Consisting of three interconnecting tunnels that are available to hire individually or all together, this versatile venue is among them. With 11,000 sq. ft. to play with, this standout space is fully licensed and has an in-house team to help you plan your event. And being moments from Waterloo station, it’s well connected, too.
Leake Street’s Insta-friendly walls have long been on the trail for cool-hunting tourists and Londoners, mainly at the weekend, but the likes of Vietnamese eatery Banh Bao Brothers and board-game bar Draughts now attract a young, hip crowd on weekday evenings as well. Well-known gallery and venue The Vaults is a draw for arty types and theatre lovers. Waterloo station, London’s busiest transport hub, is under five minutes’ walk away.
As well as Draughts, The Vaults and Banh Bao Brothers, Leake Street is also home to Aures, an event venue. Café, bar and skateboarding space the House of Vans is also nearby.
The location may not appeal to all, it can feel a little tucked away even though it’s so close to Waterloo station.
