Bicycle Tag of bike

I used to sail at the new tag. Bit grim though. There's a nice chunk of info on it in a BBC Docu called the great estate that pops up every now and again.

new one isn't THAT far guys..

22 miles from me (rough guess)

new one isn't THAT far guys..

But it is a drive-by shit hole. Can the next tagger keep to gentrified locations pls.

16.1 miles from us.

Old Southmere lake Thamesmead.

'Thamesmead is the name given to a group of disparate mainly social housing developments built from the late 1960s onwards mostly on former marshland'

New. Statue is an anagram of estate?

So glad I don't have to cycle to Thamesmead now. Whew. I was just about to take off for it as well....

While we're on the subject of public sculpture, you may be saddened to hear that Doktor P's tag of Dr Alfred Salter was stolen on the 19 November 2011

Serious? What about his daughter and a cat?
Who stole my tag?

Metal thieves for scrap no doubt. The cat and daughter weren't taken, but have been removed by the council for safe keeping.

^^It was fascinating reading about the V2, and also, from an architectural perspective, correlating the bomb sites with the bands of 60's buildings/carparks built in their place. I'm not sure that Londonist link is working but here's one to the V2 map itself:

there's a V2 in the imperial war museum. last time i was in there, i was in the middle of Gravity's Rainbow, and it felt almost supernatural to be stood there right by the thing.

This. Incredible book. They have some sort of technical diagram there too, had to check for the Schwarzgerat.

The new tag doesn't seem that easy to track down on Google so as a little hint - If Roy and Al gooner work together, they should find this in no time.

Ha! Me or the one who stole it? ;) Your traffic light tree's gone by the way, did you know? Being relocated because of a new development on the site

The guy that stole it!

Yeah i noticed just before christmas that is was being dismantled..

Nice clue...
