Harry Roberts killed 3 policemen on 12 August 1966.
'Harry Roberts is our friend' became a Spurs football chant in 70s during some heavy policing of the stadium

Clue?

A group tag would be appropriate...

Good clue, I shall add to it in interest of keeping the game going.

Elderly Fagaceae - don't step too far backwards when getting this tag.

got it now. not currently within striking distance...

I'll probably grab it tomorrow, some my recent rides have passed this on the left.

I'm there on Streetview.
No chance of getting over there in the real world :(

Old: "The Collective", Some college thing on Old Oak Common Road and backs onto the Grand Union Canal.

New: This is a little hidden Gem, out near a "Cheese Farm", these grounds were

Well done. I meant to get that last week on my way out to Wests, but then Wests didn't happen, and you just beat me to it today.

Strangely in some ways it was one of the most interesting tags I've got. I never go to Acton or Shepherds Bush so it was interesting to see what was out there.

I passed a road called "Wulfstan Street" which is suggestive of something Old English, I'm going to look it up anyway.

By old English you mean Saxon?
Wulf is dead common in Saxon histories so you need to check nearby street names for a theme. If former monastery land look for previous Abbotts, saints or bishops. Otherwise you could be looking for Ealdorman of an area of Wessex/Mercia associated with that part of London.

I think I mean Old English, at least in language terms.

Google says there was a Bishop of London in Aelthelreds time. Maybe he also invented trains?

Been following the game for a while, and now that it's in my neck of the woods I couldn't resist joining in!

Old: The Ionic Temple in the grounds of Chiswick House.

New: An (almost) timely mural I came across on a diversion from my usual route.

Blimey, that went quick!

'Stay with me Diana' seems like a really strange thing to write...

The road on which you'll find this slightly macabre mural has a couple of cycling connections. The first is to a recently-rejuvenated company that makes Speedplay-style clipless pedals.

I passed a road called "Wulfstan Street"

And did you see Henchman Street or Erconwald st? All part of a 30s estate in East Acton built for railway workers

And the streets are all named after London bishops

ahh! Thats cool, It was right next door to the rail depot... Different age when streets built for working classes were named after Saxon religious figures

Coombe Rd mural. Not sure what the clues are about, I just knew this one.

Hah, I think I know that one.

Great tag. I was thinking of doing that a while ago but then didn't get the tag I was after so dropped the idea.
