Part one was the Shoreditch area.

Here's the plan for Part 2 - Waterloo / South bank / Victoria Embankment

Sunday 6th August

Meet at Lambeth North Tube station (Bakerloo Line only). This station is pretty quiet, but is also walkable distance from Waterloo as well, which offers more tube interchanges (Jubilee, Waterloo and Northern lines). I’ll work out an EXACT meeting place later on and post it up here. We will be leaving at 2pm sharp.

2pm hopefully lets people from a far to get there and back and lets people get their own lunch before we start (trying to all go somewhere for lunch sounds like a nightmare!). We’ll go around the Waterloo / Lower Marsh area, then all along the South Bank from the Mortar Rats (opposite parliament) to approx London Bridge, then crossing over the river to do the ones on the other side of the river, finishing at Embankment tube station. From Embankment it’s really easy to get to Charing Cross and Waterloo, and most of the rest of London.

Difficult to know how long it will take but I’d guess we’d all be pretty ready to finish / knackered within about 3 hours….. As before, you can obviously leave whenever you want. We’ll be going close to LOTS of tube stations on the route (London Bridge, Monument, Bank, Cannon St, Blackfriars, Embankment, etc).

Then people can do whatever they want after - food, drink or transport.....

Although this is quite a long way, it’s all pretty flat and as it doesn’t involve any non-avoidable steps I would have thought that it could be done by someone using a wheelchair or a buggy.

Any questions, just ask. Martin

P.S. it's free, and you even get some stickers kindly donated by those nice people at POW

[mido]

I knew I would forget something.....

you WON'T need a tube / bus / whatever ticket for this...
It's just lots of walking

And if you were planning or using a wheelchair / buggy etc, it might be worth mentioning it to me so I can make sure I know how to get around any of the areas with steps (I'm sure they could be avoided ...the whole area is pretty touristy and supposed to be user friendly)

[HowAboutNo]

Top work Martin ;D Didn't think it would be so soon. (You really do reek of a man with no job at the mo' but I envy you enormously!)

Have only been there actively once or twice and didn't really find all that many. Just haven't had the time. Will be cool to meet up again. And I somehow think the attendance will up slightly now they know there are freebies just for turning up!!

To anyone toying with the idea of coming it really is a top day out, especially if weather was anything like Sunday. To have my responsible "Daddy" hat on, it may also be worth pointing out that as we will be by the water, it may be even hotter. Yay! (Think I have just recovered from mild case of sunstroke from the tour part1!! )

;D Martin, get to make it clear - your talking about Lambeth North Tube station?

[mido]

sorry.....Yes, Lambeth North Tube station (bakerloo Line only, but within walking distance of Waterloo tube as well)

I assumed people whould read the whole thread, but you're right - not everyone might, or it might confuse....

are this is going 2 be so cool dose any 1 know if we got any foreners comming again. ?

[mido]

I'm slightly worried if anyone will come! nearly all the people from the first one have said they aren't coming, except you and sam, so unless new people do it could almost be me, myself and I ;D

[HowAboutNo]

Here are the photographs from part 2 of the Banksy tour!

An excellent day once again, not as many people wise. And sorry that you couldn't make it Silky, would have been nice to see you.

Definitely a Rat lovers heaven, a shame that more of the diverse pieces have gone from the Southbank.

I won't try to remember names, you all know who you are and please post to thank Martin for another job well done!

Ahem....roll on part 3?!?!



Oh Bugger, thats the only one thats worked after waiting 20 mins for it to download. Am cream crackered! Will post rest in the morning!!

[BANK5Y'S-BOY]

heres a pic of Sam who obvious cant read the "this is not a photo opportunity" sign.
here is that Spanish dude we saw doing some graffiti. on my way back i thought id chec it out see if they had finished it.

[mido]

well done you two for the fast photos. I didn't take any so I'll rely on you two to add them - work you slaves ;D

8 people came this time, inc 2 kids who knew far too much and were way too cool!!

furthest travellers this time = Workington (cumbria) - as part of a visit obviously....

thanks to regulars Seb & Sam for sticking it out for the whole route. geeky tw@ts ;D .

And thanks as always to POW for bunging some stickers my way, which I'm slowly getting rid of via the tours.

thinking about part 3. a short, evening, after work, mini tour of farringdon / barbican area....

watch this space (...well, not all the time obviously...you need to eat, and wee.....)

seb.... is that the south bank skatepark graffiti finished?? any other pics of it?

[mido]

P.S. an explanation............

as we walked along the south bank we noticed that some new graffiti was going up in the skate park thingy (south bank regulars will know what I mean, under the thingymajig :-) )

They were 2 Spanish guys - one from Barca and one from Sevilla, accompanied by an English (?) woman who explained a bit about them etc. Sorry, I'm poor with names :-)

[BANK5Y'S-BOY]

well when i went back they were still there talkin but id didnt look like they were still graffitiyin. ye i but there not a great pic there with my phone remember.

[HowAboutNo]

Hehe ;D All I can say is Seb ... you had better watch your back! I did exactly the same to you at one of the other Not a Photo op's! Wait till my pics are up in the morning!! Your face is a picture

[glow=red,2,300]Cool[/glow]post and thanks for getting the completed Barcelona blokes piece. Well worth a visit as it looks like it will get renewed on a regular basis. Next week anyone?

I think I heard that the woman said something about one of the artists being called "D Base" Wasn't really listening to her as she just struck me as dodgy marketing type chrony.

[BANK5Y'S-BOY]

did i hear that one of those guys calls himself d-base . and just 2 add matin had a little fight with this lady lol, all in the name of art ha.

[HowAboutNo]

Woah ... Gratuitous butt shot there Seb!

Think the spainaird might have got the wrong idea if he'd seen you were that close!! Hehe.

Yep, so one of them was called D Base, who (I know) sounds like D Face, but having just done a Flickr search, Dbase is the bloke who did the CCTV camera heads that you (Seb) actually asked whether was a Banksy or not.... weird and small world if he is the same bloke!!!!

;D

[BANK5Y'S-BOY]

just a bit of bum fun. d-base if so he did the men with camras on the blue dore's u no lol,

[BANK5Y'S-BOY]

looks like i shud reply a bit quicker lol great minds think alike ha.
