The Graffiti Tunnel (Banksy Tunnel) Stairs at Leake Street

The image was taken in The Graffiti Tunnel, which is also known as Banksy Tunnel, along Leak Street underneath the railroad tracks. To get this view, I stood at the southeast end of the tunnel near the stairwell that leads up to the street level. By London Underground: - Closest Station: Waterloo Station (Bakerloo, Jubilee, Norther or Waterloo & City lines) - Head southeast toward Cab Rd - Turn right onto Cab Rd - At the roundabout, take the 1st exit onto Station Approach Rd - Enter The Graffiti Tunnel through Leake Street

All months of the year are suitable to photograph the Leake Street Graffiti Tunnel.

You'll be able to find similar lighting conditions in the morning and late afternoon, but during mid-day the tunnel will be the least busy.

Try to shoot the stairs at an angle so you can incorporate the artwork on the walls into your shot.

By standing at the bottom of the staircase and taking the photo looking up toward the top of the stairs, you will guide the viewer's eyes upward.

Have your models experiment with different poses and take some candid images, too. This location is all about capturing the local art scene in London, so try not to have your photo look too staged.

Nearby, you'll find The Vaults Theatre, Jubilee Gardens, SEA LIFE Centre London Aquarium and much more!

Make sure to head west and cross over the Westminster Bridge to see the Houses of Parliament and some of London's most famous landmarks.
