In April 2024 Noerthbanksy started his biggest and most famous project to date: The Tunnel.

The basic idea was to fill the pedestrian foot tunnels on the Hornsey Road approach to Emirates Stadium with giant sized professional looking murals, who’s emotions would change as the season’s changed, or new players became heroes - or to chronicle funny or memorable moments in Arsenal’s journey.

Previous smaller Northbanksy stencils sprayed up in the same place had always been removed by Islington Council. But after another artist - known as “Banksy” (?!) - did a large tree themed-graffiti art installation further up Hornsey Road, Northbanksy decided to test the local authoritiy’s new found tolerance for other big bits of street art.

So Far, So Good.

The Tunnel has grown and grown and become a pre-match destination in its own right. It might not last for ever, and it is only a very small detail, but this tunnel of fan art has become a small part of Arsenal’s journey back to the top under Mikel Arteta.
