About

Discover an urban gem under Waterloo Station, with food, drink and entertainment hub Leake Street Arches. Home to the Leake Street Tunnel, the historic arches are now home to quirky eateries and one of the ultimate spots for street art in London.

Admire the ever-changing street art as you walk through Leake Street Tunnel, the longest graffiti gallery in the capital. This free, open space allows artists to show-off their skills and creations – some of which last for months, days, or even only a couple of hours.

After gazing at the striking murals, head to Banh Bao Brothers for Vietnamese food and picture-pretty cocktails, then challenge your friends or family to a board game at Draughts Waterloo. There’s also Mamuśka!, a Polish restaurant, perfect for discovering new flavours.

The Leake Street Arches also hosts events including live music, live graffiti sessions and classes, alongside seasonal festivals and foodie pop-ups.
