Comment April 7 2012

work the premise that you should really only go over work that you can do better than.... also colour pieces over chrome are okay... unless the chrome is a very technical piece and your planned piece isnt...

Comment March 30 2012

Is it ok to cover other peoples work here, i do it allot but i always feel bad destroying others work. Maybe if i just choose a crappy patch?

Comment February 26 2012

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!

whats the etiquette with painting over there?

Comment February 17 2011

bomb it up man, are u writers or not

Confirmation January 11 2011

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"....

Comment August 28 2010

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.

Correction May 14 2010

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

Confirmation May 13 2010

Would any of you guys like to take part in a short interview for a photographic journalism piece? The basis of it is celebrating South Bank as an outlet for creative street art and how the pieces influence the area as a whole.
It's difficult to find legal areas to paint these days; although if the last comment is correct it's no longer a legal canvas. Anyone willing to offer their opinion on the area/showcasing their creativity in the urban jungle?
If you would prefer your personal details will remain anonymous, I can guarantee it. I'm just interested in the place as a whole, and the kind of people who decide to paint and skate there.
Drop me an email if you're up for it.

Correction February 2 2010

NO LONGER LEGAL.

Please read our article (with picture).

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

Comment April 11 2008

Confirmation April 11 2008

Expect passersby to take photos of you here!

Confirmation April 8 2008

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.
