  • The Crystal Palace dinos are an odd mix of creatures which reflect scientific understanding of various extinct animals at the time. They pre-date Darwin's Origin of Species and represent radical ideas for the public and to some extent science at the time. Developments in palaeontology since mean that the morphology of the dinosaurs is quite different to what we are now familiar with. Their sculptor hosted a dinner party inside the giant mould used to cast the Iguanadon. When they were first unveiled the pond in which they sit was made to be "tidal" by pumping water so the water exposed and obscured the marine sculptures throughout the day. Much more info on wikipedia.

    I loved this place since reading about it as a kid. The most famous models are of Iguanodon, but with the thumb spike assumed to be a horn on its nose!

  • i've been meaning to join this game and tag them for about a year since i moved to London and found them completely by surprise in my local park.

  • Yeah, that was quick.
    Well done.
    I didn't think it was particularly obscure but I love those gate posts.

    Apocryphal story is they're the inspiration for the original Jolly Roger.

    In the 90s I made a set of gates for that church with feathers instead of spikes and gilded cherub wings as handles, now sadly vandalised.
    Csb.

    Cheers - I didn't actually know it, but my project just finished at work so I have a bit of time so a quick Google revealed its location (and then having a pre-tag meant the round trip from home was quick)

    A clue for the new one: you may find rodents in peril here, but definitely not a place for the Whigs

  • ...
    Then again, I can't remember what it used to be called. Used to be all Upper Street in them days, Essex Road was a dump.
    ...

    I live pretty much across the road for last 4 years and New Rose hasn't changed name in those years.
    Didn't like it, but I don't like many pubs.

  • Watch out for these!

  • Nice clue. The sculpture seems to be newer than the Street View images or I'm doing something very wrong.

  • Nope, not on Street View.

  • ^^^ great clue, wont be there any time soon tho

  • Watch out for these!

    Especially if you're a

  • Nice clue. The sculpture seems to be newer than the Street View images or I'm doing something very wrong.

    Correct - not on street view. Selected mainly as it appeared a sculptor had captured my dramatic fall in metal just hours after it happened

  • There was a tag of Greater London House, which has the worst goods lift in London. This place has the second worst.

  • Brains Stew's clue is great. Got it.

  • Yeah, I think I know this one. I also have a tag idea....

  • Yeah, this is all very interesting, that everyone knows where it is, but someone has got to go and actually tag it, or the game does not move along.

    #hypocrite

    We could of course change the rules, so people can just say they know it, and that they have thought of a new one. Which the next person just claims to know, and thinks of another, and so on....

    #don'tthinkthatwouldbeverygood

  • I know this one. And I have thought of another tag. If someone can find me, and photograph their bike next to me, I will tell them where it is.

    I'm mainly here for the interesting London landmarks/geography conversation stuff. But I wish I had thought of tagging this one seeing as I had the morning off. But I am in work now, so the opportunity has gone.

  • Oh bother, I could have just done this.

  • Do I Brain Stew's visual clues explain that protusion on the PC's head ?
    Anyway I'm no closer to pinpointing the tag.
    Perhaps I shouldn't occupy more page space with my inconclusions.

    Nonsense. What are you talking about?

    A custodian would probably be prudent (if ineffectual) - although I'd have thought that is all in the past by now.

    Another clue to put some pressure on those who know, but haven't turned the pedals to tag:
    An alternative name for those guys who sang "Two Princes"

  • Here's a convenient clue summary for those who haven't got it--who include me.

    New - (pre-tag from the other day when I was tagzumped)

  • Scratch that, a moment's thought made me realise where it is. Sadly, I can't go there now. Someone tag it on such a lovely sunny day!

  • On my way now. Ne me 'zump pas!

  • I forgot to get this on my way home last night & again this morning. Oops.

  • Tenners is still online, if you're quick you might still tagzump him.
