multiple walls, part of an underground skate spot
confirmationover 15 years ago
The walls are well sheltered form elements! Roof over your head guarantees good painting conditions whatever the weather. The spot is hit heavily by visiting writers. Loads of tourists here too but they are usually just curious and very polite.

noisy with all the skaters skating, and make sure you get a picture straight after painting because it will be gone within 5 minutes.

I'm not sure if it has an address since it is not a building. It's under the waterloo bridge which you should find.

Spoke to a copper, said if you painted there you wouldnt get arrested or anything, so the police still see it as legal.

Walked by yesterday. Everything as described: Busy place, shitty quality. I don't know if it's really legal though. What I'd like to add is that there are security cameras all over.
confirmationalmost 13 years ago
pretty sure its still legal, even yesterday been there painting saw security and police walking around and not a problem. i actually work at southbank so i see writers painting there almost everyday specially on weekends and never seen anyone having any problem whatsoever its actually a big attraction among tourists. yeah theres cctv but i guess even graffiti writers and skaters need "protection"....

Love this place one question do people getting stuck up if someone uses stencils as I use stencils. I have my reasons for this and they are my own but if I'm going to get issuses from people I wont bother painting.

bring freinds preferably a few because if your on you ones and not known the liklehood is you will get jacked or atleast constantly have little chavy toys who cant paint for shit asking if they can do a dub with your tins "cus youve got bare like". Go to fleet street less dickheads hanging around!

Well worth going to! beware of people skating and you'll most likely be in other peoples photos as well, a lot of people go. Amazing graffiti there though!

Southbank is not legal anymore, be warned? undercover feds all over the place and how do I know this coz they arrested me as soon as I sprayed I was swarmed by them
confirmationover 11 years ago
Yes it is legal I went there a week ago

Painted here in october 2012 for about 4 hours, people, tourists went by, photographed me and stuff... there are cctv cameras watching the place but I had no problem at all so it really is legal. A very nice place looking at the Thames. Bikers and skateboarders are annoying and loud but they respect you and let you work. Also it's covered so rain should not be a problem. Most of the works are toy stuff or tags so if you have a nice stylish color piece you'll have no problem finding space.

When people leave hate without a name :( Painting southbank is fine, you never get any bother from anyone except annoying tourists or kids that are trying to act like they're all-city gangster writers. It's nice to paint there on a sunday afternoon or other relaxing time of the week. Obit
