A Little About This Space
Banksy put Waterloo’s Leake Street tunnel on the map when he held his Cans Festival exhibition here in 2008; now it’s London’s mecca for street artists and knowing urban art lovers. This beautifully restored rail arch is a heady mix of urban graffiti culture with futuristic immersive technology. It comes with an impressive array of in-house AV including wall-to-wall projection screens, a 3D immersive sound system and scent delivery systems that enable you to easily create unique immersive events without the hassle of addition AV hire, set-up or set building.
THE CROWD
Tourists, locals and artists come here to see (and contribute to) this ever-changing gallery, or use it as a cut-through to the South Bank. The Vaults attracts a mixed arty crowd to Leake Street with its edgy exhibitions and immersive theatrical shows. Around the corner on Station Approach Road, House of Vans fills up with skaters and gig goers from Thursday through Sunday.
