Southbank Skate Space

When you think of the UK skate scene, London and the Southbank are the first places that spring to mind. The Southbank undercroft was not built with the intention of creating an iconic skate spot. It’s dark and dingy with mismatched flooring. Due to its history and difficulty, it attracts the best skateboarders and teams in the city. Expect large crowds watching you while you skate at this spot. It’s located right next to the River Thames at the heart of the Southbank—a place that draws thousands of tourists each day. My friends and I kind of forget they’re there, but it can be quite intimidating if you’re not used to it.
