Review:
Leake Street, commonly referred to as the Banksy Tunnel, is one of London's top destinations for viewing vibrant graffiti and street art, located along a 300-meter road tunnel near York Road and Waterloo Station in the district of Lambeth. The tunnel's walls were initially decorated with graffiti during the 2008 Cans Festival, organized by internationally-renowned street artist Banksy. During the festival, more than 30 graffiti artists transformed the tunnel into a vibrant destination for street art. Now, the tunnel is professional lit, showcasing unique designs and tags in vivid color schemes. It is one of the city's top photography destinations, creating perfect panoramas for showcasing on Instagram during visits to London's city center.
