Designed by Tim Greatrex, the new House of Vans Park entertainment hub has opened to the public after more than a year of work on the exciting space. Located in the tunnels deep underneath London’s Waterloo Station, the 30,000sq ft (9,144sq m) venue will showcase an art gallery, a VansLab artist incubator space, cinema, live music venue, café and bars, gifting suite, plus a skater built and designed concrete bowl, boasting a mini ramp and street course. Two of the fi ve tunnels on the site were
previously occupied by the Old Vic Theatre – these have been dedicated to skating
alone – while the rest of the venue’s fea- tures are located in the remaining three spaces: Tunnel One will be the home of the new art gallery; Tunnel Two features the 100-seat cinema screening room; Tunnel Three holds a 850 capacity music venue. As London’s only permanent indoor skatepark, the brand’s ‘Off The Wall’ spirit should bring some joy to the skating community. With neon lights and rugged concrete, the new House of Vans London has embodied skate culture and creativity in one venue, following in the footsteps of its other attraction in Brooklyn, New York.

At around 40m (131ft) in height, it will be slightly larger in stature than the Brazilian version in Rio De Janeiro and is set to open along with the park at some point in 2015. The eco-park will also feature a 3,000-seat event hall, a 1,380m (4,528ft) cable car, a restaurant and a museum. Read more:
