Info
The Mandela Way T-34 Tank is a tank located on a small piece of scrubland on the corner of Mandela Way and Pages Walk in Bermondsey, London, England. The tank is a decommissioned Soviet built T-34-85 battle tank.It is a former Czech army tank that was used in the filming of Richard III (1995). On completion of the film, it was bought in 1995 by Russell Gray, who lives nearby, for £7,000. He then installed it 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 artist Charlotte Meldon in April 2017 back to a more authentic military Olive-Drab. The tank is often graffitied by local graffiti artists and its colour is regularly changed.
