Mandela Way T-34 Tank

Mandela Way T-34 Tank

The Mandela Way T-34 Tank is located on a small piece of scrubland on the corner of Mandela Way and Pages Walk in Bermondsey, London. The tank is a decommissioned Soviet T-34-85 battle tank.

It is a former Czech army tank, that was used in the filming of Richard III (1995). It is now 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 (and also graffitied). The latest work was to transform the tank's livery into that of a Chicago Taxi Cab, and was undertaken by the Graffiti4hire team.

There are also T-64 and T-72 tanks which have been graffitied in a hippie manner at the Museum of the Great Patriotic War, Kiev.

The tank appears in PRECISION, a short film made in 48 hours by Andrew James Sykes and Mike Atherton and starring Merica Adams.
