  • Do we get a clue to which forum and which thread?

    EDIT:New page fail.

  • Seriously

    Just search this thread for the street name, building name

    10 years this thread has been going and I have never thought of that. I am so thick.

  • ...tell me where you're thinking of going, and I'll tell you if it's ok... :)

    I promise not to tell lynx!

  • This tag used to be where you would find the most sternly judgemental. But, in the spirit of the town for which the road is named, I will just point at the current: today's occupants seek only to be calm, contemplative and wise.

  • Old: Jamyang Buddhist Centre and Old Court Yard Cafe.
    It represents an Extraordinary Garden Cafe Rental Opportunity.

  • I’m not sure that’s going to need any clues.

  • Well, you can find it through another mural on that bridge.

  • What, this one?

  • Incidentally, I found Bruce's tag by opening the picture in a new tab and reading the words on the flyer attached to the gate, which led me here: https://www.kenningtongardencafe.com/

  • Will btob ever migrate south of the river again? We may never know.

  • It was there today.

  • Well there we have it. No idea why I thought this was so far north.

  • I usually bring the game South.

  • I need to travel East for this West tag

  • Don't leave it too long before bagging this tag; it may not be there long (at least, in its present form).

  • Old: a recently vandalised bridge in West Hampstead.

  • It's art, but it's not exactly underground art.

  • Lovely ride there you. 8 speed campag/ita steel. I want one.

  • Thanks. I got it in 1996.
    If you are stuck, take a seat and think about it.

  • I thought it was this one.

  • Nah, that was just the clue. Welcome to Best Hampstead though.

    For 20 years or so a guy named Spider (what were his parents thinking?) or John Henderson had been semi-living on the bridge, and the path leading to the Thameslink entrance, and selling second-hand books accompanied by his 3 legged dog, Sugar.

    John made a lot of friends over the years. He wasn't actually homeless, but he had drink and drug issues, and seemed to prefer being on the street to going home. Almost exactly a year ago he died of a drug overdose, and a small memorial was placed on the bridge. A year later this mural has been painted as a memorial to him (and apparently to highlight homelessness, which many people think a bit crass as John wasn't homeless). It doesn't actually look much like Spider or Sugar (the bit in my photo) and nobody has any idea who the other person as seen in @Ruserius photo is meant to be.

    I thought I would bike tag it before the fine young citizens of Kilburn cover it with their tags, or the upstanding burghers of West Pramstead have it painted over and replaced with advertising for estate agents. The side I tagged has to be altered or covered up as the council have decided it is unauthorised advertising. http://camdennewjournal.com/article/west-hampsteads-new-art-mural-to-be-edited-after-planning-dispute

  • Interesting story. Wonder how its going to be edited to bypass planning regs? Just take the S off of ARTS? Quite a few people taking photos in the short time I was there
