THE TUNNEL

In April 2024-25 Season, Northbanksy started his biggest and best known project: The Tunnel on Hornsey Road N7.



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 become a pre-match destination in its own right. It will not last for ever, but maybe this fan art will be remembered as a small part of Arsenal’s journey under Mikel Arteta.
