There are lots of hidden gems in London like this T-34 battle tank that is located in Mandela Way, Bermondsey, London. It is a former Czech army tank that was used in the filming of Richard III (1995). It was bought in 1995 by Russell Gray, who lives nearby, for £7,000 then installed in its current location. 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 by artists (and also graffitied) many times. In 2009 a company called Graffiti4hire transformed the tank's livery into that of a yellow cab. As of 2014 it is painted with yellow and black stripes with a Remembrance poppy design on the turret.
