Graffiti in Thamesmead (part 5)

Again, I’ve not seen this one myself, but somebody posted a link on Twitter. Here we see a Sherlock Holmes figure peering through a magnifying glass at a number of tumbling question marks:

Alongside it, the “icon” logo is accompanied by the word “Trust” – quite probably a riff on the local charity that promotes the area and encourages community interaction, Trust Thamesmead.

This was spotted and Tweeted by Twitter user @dooks_drgaf.

What is disappointing is that this artistic graffiti is covered over quickly in most cases. Of the pictures I’ve taken myself, the only ones remaining are the gremlin dog near the parkland between Southmere Lake and Lesnes Abbey, and the runner in the highly decorated area at the basketball park. Other work is painted over, often the same day I first spot it – and I walk past these areas regularly. Meanwhile, someone has scrawled a name and the word “slug” (it’s possibly meant to say “slag” but doesn’t appear to) in one of the areas where the decent stuff is erradicated in hours. It’s been there three days so far.
