Went to visit the famous Russian tank in Bermundsey on Monday.

Took few pics.

Although must say its a shocking area, also there is loads of crap around the tank such as needles, condoms, and sh*t!

Still, was interesting to see the tank and get on it.

How dare you be about 2 mins from my house and not go for a drink with me!

Shame on you!

The Turret used to face the other way! (2 o'clock!) until 2 weeks ago!

I go into one a lot about Israel, i am very pro-Israel. I simply refuse to allow Muslims to use a lie to fuel hatred against the the Jews Or the West!
Those who believe in the lies hang your heads in shame!

Not sure Matey! It just Moved mysteriously! Would loved to have seen it move though. From what I heard all the hatches were meant to have been welded shut!

where you from Simon?

guess not - surely some South London entrenepaur would have had it away by now if it were valuable.
Does seem a bit surreal though!

So what is its story and who put it there and for what reason?

I bet it was some rich gay artist making a statement or it broke down on a gay pride marchWhistle Whistle

I go on several Urbex forums and some of the pikey damage you see makes you realise that no matter how remote or unlikley, if it is not nailed down it will be stolen, and, if it is nailed down, they will steal the nails as well!

Thanks for the info on the tank, hope in a way it finds a loving home. It deserves better than random pikey art.
