Tucked beneath the tracks at Waterloo, 26 Leake Street occupies a stretch of London that is alive with continuous art and culture. Once a neglected service tunnel, it now stands as a bold industrial events venue carved into one of the capital’s most iconic cultural spaces – the Leake Street graffiti tunnel.
This remarkable transformation is part of a broader revival of the South Bank’s creative scene. Retaining the rawness of its original structure, the venue spans three impressive arches and over 1,200 square metres, seamlessly blending heritage and modern function. It is a place that champions expression – a space reclaimed not by chance, but by design.
Today, 26 Leake Street is a destination for cultural programming, fashion, brand activations, exhibitions and private events. Its atmosphere is rooted in history, defined by texture, and elevated through lighting, sound and community.
From forgotten tunnel to cultural landmark, the story of 26 Leake Street is one of reinvention – a space where creativity takes centre stage beneath the city’s surface.
