During the summer my Australian friends came over and wanted us to show them around London. I don't think many people who live here even know about this place. It's a disused road tunnel, roughly half a mile long, covered in graffiti. The first time I came here was purely by accident. My boyfriend and I were just exploring the city by taking random buses to anywhere and we were lured in by the sound of choir music.

Part of the spirit of graffiti is that everything is temporary; either washed away by the council or tagged by someone else. The tunnel is like a gallery that's always changing it's exhibits so it's good to visit once every few months.











The first time we visited there were speakers set up all around the tunnel and we could hear the choir music all the way through, kind of like a graffiti heaven. The speakers are gone now and the art won't be the same as shown here but if you want to visit (or even make some art), it's behind Waterloo station on Leake Street.
