We delve into the HUCK archives to revisit our feature on the fight to save London's iconic Southbank Centre skate spot.
'Pre-skateboarding, the undercroft was dead space, a remnant of post-war architecture’s futuristic visions gone awry. But as a skate spot, it had it all; a smooth concrete surface littered with steps, banks, ledges and loads of space. Even though skateboarding was fresh off the boat from the USA, ‘No Skateboarding’ signs were already popping up everywhere. But with authorities at the undercroft choosing to turn a blind eye, UK skateboarding, it seemed, had found a home.' - Olly Zanetti
