The Old Vic Tunnels, Underground performance space at Waterloo Station, London, United Kingdom.
The Old Vic Tunnels encompasses 30,000 square feet of converted railway tunnels beneath Waterloo Station, forming a network of performance spaces.
The venue opened in 2009 when theatre company Punchdrunk and the Old Vic transformed unused railway tunnels into an arts center through their Tunnel 228 project.
The underground location housed numerous theatrical productions, art exhibitions, and film screenings, including the UK premiere of Banksy's Exit through the Gift Shop.
Visitors could access the venue through Waterloo Station, with performances scheduled between noon and midnight, offering tickets starting at 5 pounds.
In 2014, the space transformed into the House of Vans skate park after the Old Vic Theatre Trust ceased operations in March 2013.
