context_page_description: The Old Vic Tunnels was an underground arts venue and performance space beneath London Waterloo railway station. The space consisted of almost 30,000 square feet of unused railway tunnels. It officially opened its doors for the first time in 2009 and closed in March 2013.
  In 2010 The Old Vic acquired Tunnels 228-232 from BRB and transformed it into a performance venue. It hosted numerous events including Banksy's UK Premiere of his documentary Exit through the Gift Shop and U.S. President Bill Clinton's latest fundraiser with the Reuben Foundation in May 2012.
  In February 2013 it was announced that the Old Vic Tunnels would close its doors on 15 March 2013:
  "We have three great years to look back on, and are proud of the remarkable range of events and productions that we have presented in the space."
  In 2014, Vans won the bidding to operate the Old Vic Tunnels and transformed them into a skate park called the House of Vans.
