Bicycle Tag of bike

went out on a hunch. i was wrong. did discover a cool building for future use though.

Spontaneous double tag with KT Bee!

Heron tower, bishopsgate

I thought I knew that... but nope, street view says I'm very wrong on it.

Double bubble!

The aquarium in the foyer at Heron Tower warrants two employees' full time attention, according to their website.
Head tank-keeper and assistant tank-tender: Big Fish and minnow.

This is what happens when I can't actually get out to tag.

I'm pretty sure I've seen that style of building in every 3rd street in London - it'll be one you either know or don't. No Googling this one without clues.

Largest private aquarium in the country. I was lucky enough to accompany one of the technicians while they filled it, it was eye opening!

I wonder if you were thinking it was where I was thinking. The brickwork and windows look very much like they belong in a certain street by google says no.

Hopefully KT Bee can provide an appropriate clue; she knows a ridiculous amount of stuff about this building!

Perhaps I can get you started by drawing your attention to the thing hanging from the wall.*

*probably no help at all

Ah, but it could be on the un-googleable street one street over. Is there a French connection?

Sadly correct...

Yes, sorry about that, accidentally slipped into full-on history bore mode. Great tagging with you, though.

Not sure about ungoogleable - in a naughty way, or a every-second-street-in-london-is-called-this way?

Is there a French connection?

Mais oui. But they're just one of the different groups who have passed through the **double **doors over the years.

Definitely an analogue tag finding opportunity. Might be a bit busy today though.

Just spent 45 minutes on Street View looking around Shoreditch as so many of the buildings there have those dark painted sash windows.

Not there as far as I can see.

Might hit Whitechapel next.

My first thought was Spitalfields, but I can't find it there either. I'm off to work and I'm going to have a roll in that direction.

spital fields? /bl?

Yeh. That was my hunch... Am I missing something blindingly obvious?

I found it on the Internet last night. Took me an hour but it can be done!

BToTB - thieving time since 2010.

I have since discovered what MoN meant about not being google-able. On your bikes taggers - it's turning into a nice day out there!

Get the hell out there then! ;)

I have a feeling that when I did a jack the ripper walk around lecture thingy they showed us this building. Not that it had anything to with the murders mind.

I suspected a site around the corner from the old Sisters of Mercy building that I saw on the JtR walk, also in Whitechapel and Spitalfields area.

Street view turned up nothing though. Went round in circles where I thought I'd walked, but too many white sash windows, and nothing looking like an old pub or warehouse.

Get the hell out there then! ;)

At home with the kids and bike building today so no tagging outings. It's near where I work so I'll grab it tomorrow if it survives the day - but with lots of people searching I don't think it will..

I've just had a roll around Hanbury St etc and couldn't find it.

Haz an idea where it is thanks to kT's clues.
Heading out to follow up the hunch

Princelet St, refuge to the Hugenots fleeing persecution in France, who brought their weaving trade to the area.

The French connection, as if I need to spell it out...
