Mandela Way T-34 Tank

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

T34 on Mandela Way

The T34 while it was still pink, but covered with graffiti, in March 2005.

On a small piece of scrubland on the corner of Mandela Way and Pages Walk in Bermondsey, London, there lies a non-functional Soviet T-34 battle tank.

Owned by Russell Gray, who lives nearby, the tank was the subject of a work by Cubitt Artists and Aleksandra Mir who painted it pink in 2002. It has since been repainted.
