The pedestrian walkways are urine-soaked, there was a rape in one of them a couple of years ago.
they're known as mugger bridges locally

The elephant is currently in a warehouse in Wandsworth, then Devon tomorrow. So the tortoise would be easier.

Would that be an NHM kind of warehouse?

was recently named by her agent as either Paloma Faith, M.I.A, A̶d̶e̶l̶e̶, G̶e̶r̶i̶ ̶H̶a̶l̶l̶i̶w̶e̶l̶l̶ ̶ or V̶i̶c̶t̶o̶r̶i̶a̶ ̶B̶e̶c̶k̶h̶a̶m̶
Can't be Victoria Beckham , if she'd gone to UAL - Central Saint Martins (allegedly according to wiki they attended ) we'd know about it
Geri Halliwell can't be the culprit quite frankly from her early life section on wiki there's no way she went to uni
Can't be Adele as graduation from BRIT school onward is accounted for until now and there's no way she slipped in a degree whilst keeping it quiet
Then there's M.I.A and Paloma faith , they both have a degree from UAL - Central Saint Martins (degree in fine art, film, and video MA in theater directing respectively)2000: Visual art and film[edit]
While attending Central St Martins College, Arulpragasam wanted to make films and art depicting realism that would be accessible to everyone, something that she felt was missing from her classmates' ethics and the course criteria. At college, she found the fashion courses "disposable" and more current than the film texts that she studied.[12] Maya told Arthur magazine "[Students there were] exploring apathy, dressing up in some pigeon outfit, or running around conceptualising... It missed the whole point of art representing society. Social reality didn’t really exist there; it just stopped at theory."[12] She cited "radical cinema" including Harmony Korine, Dogme 95 and Spike Jonze as some of her cinematic inspirations during film school.[14] As a student, she was approached by director John Singleton to work on a film in Los Angeles after he had read a script she had written, though she decided not to take up the offer.[14][15] For her degree, M.I.A. prepared her departmental honours thesis on the film CB4.[16]
Arulpragasam befriended students in the college fashion, advertising and graphics departments.[12] She met Justine Frischmann, front woman of the British band Elastica, through her friend Damon Albarn at an Air concert in 1999, and Frischmann commissioned Arulpragasama to create the cover art for the band's 2000 album, The Menace, and video document their American tour.[5][8][9] Arulpragasam returned to Jaffna in 2001 to film a documentary on Tamil youth, but was unable to complete the project because she encountered harassment.[15][17] In 2001, Arulpragasam's first public exhibition of paintings after graduating took place at the Euphoria Shop on London's Portobello Road. It featured graffiti art and spray-paint canvasses mixing Tamil political street art with images of London life and consumerist culture.[9][18] The show was nominated for an Alternative Turner Prize and a monograph book of the collection was published in 2002,[8] titled M.I.A.. Actor Jude Law was among early buyers of her artThis is pulled from M.I.A's wiki and I'd guess it was M.I.A if any of them

btw, that antenna thing on the lamppost is part of a sound artwork by Graeme Miller called Linked made shortly after the road finally opened in 1999. Positioned along the route are 20 radio transmitters each continuously broadcasting different voices of residents affected by the construction of the road, some in favour of it, some very much opposed. You can hire special headsets from Leyton Library to tune in.
I was wondering what that was. Thanks.

It won't be Paloma Faith if any of the art is higher than 5 feet up.

I like it. But maybe I'm biased.
Other half points out that Paloma grew up in Stoke Newington so it's probably her.
Good few pages of interesting tags, well done all.
