If you look carefully you’ll find something particularly odd about a busy corner in London’s East End.  Underground train carriages perched atop a warehouse.  What the f*&# are they doing up there?  And more importantly, what’s inside?

It’s called Village Underground in Shoreditch – one of London’s trendiest neighborhoods.  The carriages serve as studio space for artists, designers, filmmakers, VJ’s and musicians.  The Victorian warehouse below holds club nights, parties, live music and exhibits, including The Thousands, an exhibition of some of the world’s renowned street artists including Banksy (woot!), KAWS, Shepard Fairey, Swoon, Herakut and Barry McGee.

Would working in a space like this get your creative juices flowing?
