Bicycle Tag of bike

I thought I'd branch out and go for one that wasn't visible on google maps for a change - I hope that doesn't make it too much of an uphill struggle.

I think I've mentioned this before but I don't believe in things that aren't visible on streetview. They clearly can't exist.

Heh.

Huh?

Newham?

Do you mean, is the new tag in Newham? No.

This is actually what I mean of course, not that it isn't on google maps, but that it isn't visible on streetview.

Do you mean, is the new tag in Newham? No.

Ok just the name of the image wight have been a slipup on your part lol.
Did you keep it NW?

Oh right, no the image name doesn't mean anything. Still NW.

No, they aren't. We've been further.

Check the first page!

Check the last few. Look for churches.

"1. Old and new tags must have the same bicycle

1. Old tag isn't taken until the new tag is posted (post them at the same time)
   
2. Tags must be within London (limits are the North and South Circular roads)
   
3. Tag locations must be freely accessible to the public
   
4. No reflection porn
   
5. No blank or near blank walls
   
6. No hogging the game"
   I dunno I'm just playing but those are the rules I saw.
   

Shit.

1. Tags must be within London (limits are the North and South Circular roads)
   
   

This rule has been broken several times.

We've had shoe tags and other things outside the rules, which is fine as long as it adds fun and doesn't get out of hand.

Shit.

Unlucky Tenners, you should go for lemonades NW tag.

Not now... Too tired. And i don't know it.

No idea who John Sayes was. Wierdly enough Evelyn road and Pepys Park had me looking for oat's spot very close by. Bah.

Am I missing something? The park tag looked pretty random to me, nothing like the tag it is supposed to be matching.

I believe you're missing the rope swing that is in both images...

You're not wrong, I can't see any rope swing in the second one. But that was a few tags ago now, just catching up.

Look closer! It's in shadow, but it's there.

So what on earth was the picture clue about? Peter who?

Probably yentzed some random in said park....

You can see the rope, it is a dark blue line visible just to the left of the tree that in the background, but the rope is in the foreground above the handle bars.

Ok, so I guess I need to redeem myself after all that. This place was the site of Sayes Court, a house once inhabited by diarist John Evelyn, friend of Samuel Pepys. Evelyn and his father in law created one of the most beautiful ornamental gardens that Pepys had ever seen, complete with with fine holly hedging and rare trees. Unfortunately however, a few years after Evelyn moved out, the house was rented to Peter the Great (second picture clue) for three months in 1698 when he was over in England to learn about shipbuilding in Deptford. In this time, Peter the Great completely trashed the place with his entourage of "right nasty people" doing such damage as using the paintings for shooting practice and playing 'wheelbarrow' which involved the drunken Peter being bundled into a wheelbarrow and being repeatedly pushed through the fine holly hedging.

Much much later in 1884 a descendent of Evelyn approached Octavia Hill to help try and protect what was left of the site by making it publicly owned. This process started what is now known as the National Trust.
