Heh. I'm not sure, but I get the feeling some people may think the tag was the family business, so just to be clear, this building was always a philanthropic project.
Today would have been a much more appropriate day to tag this building than yesterday. The institution's founder very much believed in the value of a father's advice.
I actually recognised this from my south London commuting days
Lambeth Bridge a regular part of your route? That road is a handy shortcut. The tag's founder was the local MP for a while (first liberal MP for the district), so he probably spent a fair bit of time going back and forth across Lambeth Bridge himself.

Hard as it is to believe, I actually recognised this from my south London commuting days - didn’t know the backstory. Fantastic that this building has been ... preserved.
