Bicycle Tag of bike

I may actually go and get a better pic of the new tag tomorrow during the day 'cos that one is pretty poor.

Couldn't you just doctor it a little?

Something about that picture would certainly qualify it to be doctor-ed.

No need to redo it, Bobbo! I'll have this one tomorrow morning if no-one beats me to it. ;)

Ah my plans for this morning have changed and I'm not going to be able get out for this until midday. So if someone can grab it before then, fair game!

The soho noses are surely a comment on the coked-up nature of soho?

Thought I could smell something funny. :)

Right I'm off out to get this now. Got a nice new leftie tag lined up as well. If anyone wants to hold back from beating me to it and respect the fact that I'm feeling pretty ill, that would be great!

Cheers for that. I'm home now, I'll edit my first post. Thought I was going to be a while getting back but the guy I went to see wasn't it. (Not a clue, just a feverish ramble)

Noo I just got to the old tag!

Thank fuck I went for the lazy/rude option!

In a similar vein

Nicely done. The wooden anatomical tables inside are fascinating, and you can see them in April apparently:

Berthold Lubetkin's Bevin Court in Finsbury, now Clerkenwell. It was nearly called Lenin Court, as Lenin lived on a house on the site in Edwardian times.
Aneurin "Nye" Bevan (note the spelling difference) was a wonderful Labour politician who gave us the NHS, which the current Tory Government are trying to wreck with their misguided policies...

You might expect to find such a grand portico in the genteel environs of Belgravia, but this grand effort is located in a somewhat more down to earth Empire that I'm sure Bevan would have approved of.

Having read the clue before I'd seen the pic go up I was preparing to scream "re-post". I thought it was going to be the Finsbury Health Centre which I tagged a while ago, also a Lubetkin building, and also the model of health care provision on which the NHS, as delivered by Nye Bevan, was designed.

Nicely circular and not a fucking royal in sight.

Fucking always get Bevan's and Bevin's surnames mixed up.

Makes it even more interesting that it used to be called Lenin Court and then they honoured Ernest Bevin with it instead. I'd prefer a Bevan court myself. Still, nevertheless a left-wing tag as promised!

I was going to tag Finsbury Health Centre a while back, ever since I first heard of it at the Wellcome Collection's Dirt exhibition. But when I was first searching through the tags here I saw it had already been tagged. It was through reading more about Lubetkin after seeing the health centre that I learned he was behind all the modernist estates in that bit of Clerkenwell that are a cut above your average housing project. He was a good man.

^^^ That taggy cat photo is superb, Pete.

Clapton Girls' Technology College IT centre, Linscott Road, Lower Clapton, formerly the portico of the London Orphan Asylum and Salvation Army Headquarters. One of my favourite places in London.

Another local tag, as with such lovely weather, it was essential to post the pictures quickly. :)

Why do I forget to reduce the picture size every time?

Mahoosive pictures left attached.

That's a cheeky little clue there Oliver! I'd sort this one straight out if I hadn't been out already today.
