Bicycle Tag of bike

Good new tag.

Old: Trellick Tower

New (window): where to store your 17th century game equipment, your hoops and mallets etc.

The new one is findable through something - I don't get the clue though? Ah, maybe I do. A bit of lateral thinking.

Goldfinger....

The architect not the bond villain

5.30 in this recent vid explains the connection between the two. Not what you might expect.

But I'd say it's very much worth watching the whole thing, really interesting and informative

My mate used to live in Trellick Tower and was paid to move out temporarily while they filmed Goldfinger.

Another clue while the current tag is live and smoking. It's also not far from the North Pole

while they filmed Goldfinger

The architect?

Y'know on reflection he may have lied/urban-mythed me.
I was convinced by him that they filmed Bond film scenes there

The film was 1964, the tower opened 1972.

It has been used in plenty of films though, could have been a different film perhaps?

Thank you. Will watch when in a better internet area.

Did anyone inner voice say Goldfinger in a Shirley Bassey style or Sean Connery?

There was a film which involved the architect living in the block and having cocktail parties? Maybe that?

It is a better story than the bill filmed a murder near where lived and used my porch as a scene.

Old: Pall Mall Deposit, former furniture storage on Barlby Road (Ladbroke Grove area). I never knew about the Italian connection to the name Pall Mall.

New: (borrowing from Italy again, architecturally speaking)

Clue: beat 80 days

Topical.

Nice link. Quite pleased I got it simply by describing the building to Google, remembering the name of one of the few architectural styles I know. Maybe head there Wednesday, more likely Saturday for me (don’t wait up though!)

Roccoco?

Nah, we've only got Horlicks.

boom tish.

(joke not clue, FTAOD)

I went with “Italianate”

Apprehensively dipping my toes into the London Game:
Reform Club, Pall Mall

Clearly a garden.

Good clue. Victoria would be proud.

Excellent

The Reform Club 1841, designed by Charles Barry (of Houses of Parliament fame) to closely resemble the Palazzo Farnese in Rome.

Amongst other things, it is the fictional start and end of Phileas Fogg's challenge to go round the world in 80 days. When Michael Palin attempted it in real life in 1988, he completed it in 79 days and 7 hours only to be refused entry on his return.

Too scruffy, smelly, not wearing a tie? Who knows, but I very much doubt I would ever be allowed in either.

Old:

Cleary Gardens on Queen Victoria Street

The odds of me getting this tag are basically zero but it's amazing, thanks for bringing it light.
