Banksy in London

The BBC has a report and video on Banksy's latest offering - a graffiti project in a London tunnel:-
A disused road tunnel in south London has been turned into a giant exhibition space by graffiti artist Banksy.

Murals in the Bristol artist's famous stencil style appear with work by 29 other artists in a half-mile stretch of the tunnel in Leake Street, Waterloo.
It's nice to see the attention Banksy's work is getting. I live in his home city, so I first came across his work on the street. I like it - it breaks the dull monotony of gray, and there's humor in it too.
