As part of the ‘Urban Celebrating Street Culture’ festival the South Bank Centre joined forces with Global Street Art this weekend to put on a street art paint jam of sorts just below the Queen Elizabeth Hall.
Just one of a number of events over the weekend which includes dance, free running, sports, BMX, skateboarding and other street inspired activities, a number of artists took part. Dan Kitchener, Zakok, Spore, 3DOM, Pref, Ben Murphy and the Lost Souls Graffiti Crew were in attendance and painted throughout the day with an audience of appreciative passers by.
The South Bank Centre really seems to have a focus on street art these days and the art from the festival joins a recent addition under Hungerford Bridge from Stik and some substantial murals from Phlegm and ROA.
As ever some photos of the event below.

Ohhhhhhhhhhh I wish I was there this weekend! I was in London on Friday snapping away in Brixton… You have caught the vibe so well on South Bank yet agian! Next time you are in Waterloo check out the “Cable Cafe” on Lower Marsh street, just round the corner from the Leake Street tunnel… Best quirky cafe in London maybe!!
Cool stuff IC, I couldn’t make it down at the weekend, went for a look see yesterday and the Dr Zadok was completely covered over by fencing damnit ! Didnt get much a good look at the Captain Kris and others mural either…
Yeah, I didn’t see it before it was coloured in, I do like it, but would have really liked to have seen it first ! I will post some photos when I catch up…
