[Play time] Visit for about 1 hour [Background knowledge] In the graffiti area through the tunnel, you can find the entrance of The house of Vans London at the corner, without a particularly disturbing obvious sign, and it is well integrated into the surrounding neighborhood culture. The entire space is based on the transformation of five underground arch tunnels at the original Waterloo Station (Waterloo Station), a total of about 3,000 square meters, divided into five areas: cultural exhibition area (art galleries and various cultural exhibitions, so every once in a while, Exhibition update) Space Arts District (850 concert venues) Coffee dining area and selected bar area (with light meals and the like) Theatre area (small theater or lectures and seminars) Skateboarding area (only indoor skateboarding venue in London, There are skateboarding courses open to all ages for free, but need to be booked online in advance) [Visit small surprise] There are many tunnels in London's arched structure, and the space transformation of VANS is relatively successful. Opening times are free for the public, and free does not mean it is not worth it, but expands the reach of the audience and makes more people willing to learn about the venue that has such a trendy culture in London. This space covers most of the IP of street art culture advocated by VANS, providing a corresponding venue for the creative display of young artists, adding commercial operation management in a variety of different fields including exhibitions (views), small concerts (listening + touch), bar coffee (taste). Revenue. At the same time, the venue is split into different activities at different time periods, and the venue is leased to various art activities, maximizing the value of space use. In terms of space design, the interior folding line paving and corridors and arch junctions correspond to the large volume of space, so that the whole space is more varied and powerful, and the eclectic style is very in line. The red and white and black paving is very "VANS", not only distinguishing the deductive area and the skateboard area, but also has a retro modern feeling. The digital sequence lighting design from 1 to 5 also makes the participants who experience the space feel a strong sense of spatial sequence and do not lose their way. If you have time, you can go for a cup of coffee and see children and older children playing skateboards, which is also very fun. [Warm Tips] Dressing "proper". I didn't pay attention when I went there, I always felt that I was wearing a weird thing, and I couldn't integrate it with the surrounding environment. It is recommended that friends who want to take pictures also wear a little "wave", "tidal cool" is not restrained, otherwise it feels like you are P in this environment. Enjoy~
