I came back the next day and took more pictures, but the whole thing was more of a vibe at night tbh…hope you managed to catch it, such a sick concept, and to think I literally cancelled my gym membership at the Pure Gym above only 3 months ago, and saw that space derelict beneath from way back…Big up Banksy!…
