1 year on skateboard jam at the Undercroft to celebrate the first 12 months of the Long Live South Bank campaign. The undercroft of the foyer building of the Queen Elizabeth Hall on the South Bank has been popular with skateboarders since the early 70's and it is widely acknowledged to be London's most distinctive and popular skateboarding area. The area is used by skateboarders, BMXers, graffiti artists, taggers, photographers, buskers, and performance artists, among others. Although this informal activity, social and arts scene is a distinctive feature of the Southbank Centre site, it was proposed that the area would be redeveloped. However a statement from the Prime Minister's office may save the undercroft for these uses.
