Cans Festival Street Art Photos

For three days earlier in May 2008, a disused road tunnel in Leake Street, Waterloo, SE1 was turned into a half-mile long exhibition space by street artist Banksy. He got together with 29 other street artists for a 'Stencil Art Street Battle' called the Cans Festival with the aim to "transform a dark forgotten filth pit" into "an oasis of beautiful art". The installations will apparently be removed soon but Banksy said he hoped the murals and graffiti would become a permanent part of the tunnel. I can confirm they were all still there last week when I took these Cans Festival Street Art Photos.
