Around and about, by gm on Feb 22, 2006 10:03:39 GMT 1, Start Here:
www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=531750&y=182250&z=1&sv=531750,182250&st=4&ar=N&mapp=newmap.srf&searchp=newsearch.srf
Middle square on the left::
Near the bottom of the A in FARRINGDON there’s a rat on a wall by the bus stop.
Just around the corner, in Rosebery Avenue, near the top of the R in FARRINGDON there’s a little girl being held up by a cash machine.
Stay in the same map square but drop down a bit. You’ll find the Thugs by the bottom of the N in CLERKENWELL Road.
Centre Map Square:
There used to be a couple of rats up and down St John Street, but I don’t know if any of them are still there.
There’s a reaper on the East side of Berry Street, which isn’t marked too clearly on Streetmap, but is a turning off the North side of Clerkenwell Road (Just to the left of the P sign).
Hit the little Right Arrow at the side of the map. Twice.
Top Middle Square:
Just past Old Street Station, but on the other side of the road, you’ll find the giant rat with knife and fork, and the TV set chucked out of the window, both on the same wall of a car park. Best view is to be gained from the top of a bus.
Top Right Square:
Take a walk down Rivington Street. There’s always something to see whether it’s Banksy or not.
Still in Rivington Street, under the 2nd L in TOWN HALL, you’ll find a club called Cargo. There’s a little yard bit next to it where you’ll find an Authorised Graffiti Area, guarded by a copper with a red-nosed poodle. Also a nice HMV further along on the same wall.
Actually, that whole area’s worth a wander round cos just about everything that doesn’t move has been painted or stickered.
This next lot are all on the other side of the river...
Near Borough Market:
Bermondsey Street:
Waterloo Road:
Back of Waterloo Station:
I'll tidy up this post and sort out directions/map links to all of the above when I get a chance.

Around and about, by mido on Feb 28, 2006 19:12:21 GMT 1, this is really good stuff.....
but..... the banksy locations one is pretty easy and already has 60 locations on it (i've done some of them) ... www.zeesource.net/maps/map.do?group=1571
maybe we should all pool resources and just use one map / system? just an idea....

The password isn't very hard to guess, is it?

Around and about, by mido on Oct 13, 2006 17:21:05 GMT 1, updates from my travels yesterday....
Monkey Detonator (Waterloo) has gone (painted over)
The Designated Picnic Area (lower marsh) is barely visible now
Large Rat head (Waterloo Rd, near the rail bridge) has gone (buffed)
On a better note....
Microphone rat (moorfields Eye Hospital, City Rd) has been realeased!! It's been behind hoardings for about 6 months whilst they make a new hospital entrance. the hoardings are down, the rat has survived (except some scrathes), and the workman told me it wasn't due to get scrubbed coz they had run out of money now...
I'll update the map when I get time...

It was my sony ericsson cherry  My banksy cherry got popped a good few years before that
And when I got the current camera phone the first photos I took on it were at Crude Oils.
Hmm... You reckon if I go out tomorrow and get another new camera phone I'll spot some new Banksys to christen it with?

Around and about, by placardrat on Oct 27, 2006 17:07:36 GMT 1, The cash machine on Rosebery Av was the first Banksy I saw in person (a few weeks ago).
There's a guy sitting at a table on a shutter on Exmouth Market. You've either got to go there early or late though, if you go in the middle of the day the shutter is up.
The grin reaper on Berry Street has been buffed, all that's left to see is a bit of the hood and a sign saying 'wet paint'

Not heard of the one on a shutter at Exmouth market (was there a week ago!  ). what shop is it on??

Not sure of the shop name exactly but it's either next door or next door but one to a shop called EC One.

Around and about, by isolation on Dec 3, 2006 4:04:15 GMT 1, Does anybody know what happened to the link which was at the top of the forum which was a map of all the Banksy pieces? If anybody has that link you would actually be a life saver.
Cheers
