2015 โ A Year Of Street Art & Graffiti..., by Sacked... on Jan 7, 2016 18:25:03 GMT 1, This morning in our series of reviews of the last year we are heading down over to South London and taking a look back at the year of Street Art & Graffiti in Leake Street. Leake Street represents Londonโs premier legal Graffiti location, located in the Old Vic tunnels beneath Waterloo Station, made famous as a result of Banksyโs CANS Festivals and has since gone on to become host to such premier events in the Street Art calendar as Femme Fierce and The Battle of Waterloo. No other place in London offers such a high turnover of fresh works, with several new pieces guaranteed to be spied daily. It is quite rare in fact to pass through and not find at least someone painting on their newest work.

2015 โ A Year Of Street Art & Graffiti..., by Aza on Jan 7, 2016 19:12:30 GMT 1, What's the etiquette for rolling up and painting something?
How do you know if something has been there for a while and 'ok' to paint over?
Wouldn't want to paint over someones masterpiece that has just been painted!

2015 โ A Year Of Street Art & Graffiti..., by 11 on Jan 7, 2016 19:44:54 GMT 1, Im not really aware of much etiquette In Leake Street Tunnels. You find a spot you like, pull out your roller and buff everything. Then do your work. The biggest issue with Leake Street is regardless of quality, there are very few artists whose work is left untouched. Even the most stunning work can be gone the same day it went up.
Last time i was there I took this photo as I went in

Same piece on my way back out - 20 mins later.....

2015 โ A Year Of Street Art & Graffiti..., by Fake on Jan 7, 2016 20:29:58 GMT 1, I painted there twice and both times Scum kids not older than 14 years old, tried to rob me from my paint and personal belongings...
Maybe not smart to wear my spongebob watch and drive my tricycle there...
