Cheers though i have been looking at the images and getting the fear that i to may be at the wrong living wall as well! What says you zoom?
In the meantime here is how fussballclub would have done that tag...

I'm pretty sure it's the right tag, I studied far too many pics of them online at lunchtime! Plus, it works with the clue as it's a living wall billboard of a Van Gogh.
Other living walls that I know of:
The Athaenium Hotel near Hyde Park Corner
Westfield Shopping Centre
The Mint Hotel near Tower Bridge
Anthropologie on Regent St (inside the store)
The Van Gogh outside the National Gallery (until October by the looks of it).I'm hoping that one day we'll have a garden suitable for having one, as they're cool as fnck.

Old one is indeed the living Van Gogh facing onto Trafalgar Square.

New tag looks pretty cool, even if i have absolutely no idea where it is.

There's one in Permberton Row, near Dr Johnson's house.

Thanks for getting these up, Julia.
Gmail on 3 is a great disappointment to me.
The boats leant a suitably summer holiday feel to what was a balmy summer evening.

^^^ John's idea for the new tag ... I love London and it's oddities!

they are just so lovely and incongruous, unexpected to find something crafted in that way and vulnerable compared with the hard concrete street furniture and surfaces that are more typical and surround it.
i think there is this idea that when you put something like that out in the public realm, people actually take care of it more, because it can be damaged (whether a delicate timber screen or a nice flowerbed) and it changes the way people respond to their city. of course it only takes someone wilfully destructive to ruin it for everyone, but sometimes it's nice to make the city for the benefit of most people, not make it indestructible by a minority.

Very well put, Hoelfa, I couldn't agree more. Many of the tag subjects fall into this 'incongruous category and evidently engender protective interest, at the very least from people on this forum.
The upturned hulls serve as semi-enclosed seats which provide a link with the history of the site and offer a partially sheltered location from which to take in a good view.

Just round the corner from me so I had to get this.
Old tag, the lovely boat seats on Albert Embankment, Vauxhall.
New tag, from tranquil barmy summer evenings to a place associated with offering long term head aches.
Sorry still have'nt got to grips with embedding pics.....
