Graffiti artist Banksy has turned a south London tunnel into a half-mile long exhibition space, but the elusive artist kept its location secret until the last minute. The artist added his trademark stencil-style murals to the walls of the tunnel in Waterloo's Leake Street, including an image of a knife-wielding hoodie. Madonna and Britney's Spears' kiss at the 2003 MTV Awards is also depicted, plus a car crashing into a tree. Banksy teamed up with 29 other street artists for the exhibition.
During the official three-day exhibition Banksy will allow other artists to add their own stencil work to the tunnel walls alongside his art.
