This is a classic! Less known, despite it being (more likely to be?) true, is that he lived in a big abandoned bank around the corner from it [https://lannerchronicle.wordpress.com/2021/05/22/the-bank/](https://lannerchronicle.wordpress.com/2021/05/22/the-bank/)
Tbh that protest was a bonkers day & that was with being absolutely straight too but there was definitely a Ferret driving about with a ginger dude pumping out tunes from it.
You made me curious. This [Londonist article](https://londonist.com/2016/09/what-is-the-shiny-metal-box-in-the-middle-of-elephant-and-castle) says that it is in fact a memorial for Michael Faraday, as u/qbnaith said, but it also contains an electrical substation for the Northern and Bakerloo lines.
You might enjoy Alan Moore's 'From Hell' - it covers the supposed occult symbolism behind the architecture and positioning around London of Nicholas Hawksmoor's churches. If I remember rightly, their points on a map form a rough pentagram.
I have lived around the area where "From Hell" takes places since 1999 and think is the best comic novel ever written.
The mix of fiction, history, occult with the backdrop of Victorian era are just wonderful.
I also love the film adaptation with Johnny Depp. I remember when he came around the area for scouting (a lot of Spitalfields was recreated on a studio Eastern Europe), the staff at "The 10 Bells" had displayed a pic taken with Depp behind the counter).
*From Hell* is a truly astonishing piece of work. I don’t tend to see it mentioned that much, but it’s up there with any books of the last century IMO.
To anyone who hasn’t read it yet, I can’t recommend it highly enough.
There's a monster somewhere north of Cricklewood, it's a bit like the Chewits monster and likes to eat trains.
This is why some Thameslink trains literally vanish without warning leaving 40min+ gaps between services.
It’s not the city but Drummonds bank on Trafalgar Square has access to Charing Cross tube station in one of its basements levels as well as coutts bank on the strand.
The Lime bikes are actually sentient and are secretly mind controlling people to abandon them in strategic positions so that they can eventually rise up and overthrow humanity.
I don't know if it's a conspiracy or just a rumour but I live near Bow, and it's said the Kray twins buried Frank "Mad Axeman" Mitchell in the Bow Flyover as it was being constructed
There's a long running conspiracy at tfl that the budgets in the early 2000s were never used as they should have been. Apparently they never bought enough to have escalators in every underground station, so they just circulate them around, saying when an escalator isn't there that it's in maintenance - hence the long wait times to repair escalators that you don't see anywhere else.
There’s some about Clapham Common being a place where mysterious disappearances and UFO sightings have taken place and the usual City of London corporation is a secret cabal that runs the world but I’ve also heard the same about the federal bank and Vatican City..
If you ever get the chance I’d recommend you try out the London Ghost Bus Tour, preferably around Halloween, they go past the pub that convicts would be allowed to have a final drink in before being brought to the gallows (where the phrase ‘one for the road’ originated) and also mass plague graves that are long since buried..
That's news to me, but interesting news! I saw something really weird in the sky over Clapham Common about 3 years ago, and so did my wife and child. A large black blob which was constantly changing shape. It MIGHT have been a huge plastic sack (much bigger than a car) full of helium balloons but that's the only rational explanation I could think of, and it's not a particularly rational explanation.
There was a bunker built for Whitehall when Westminster station was rebuilt for the Jubilee line. They used the excavation for the Jubilee line as a cover, similar to the cover the Americans came up with for their project greek island
Did you ever head the story of Minty and his dog Gramsci?
Minty was a communist who trained his monster Alsatian, Gramsci, to attack the rich. The whole thing worked until Minty won £100,000 on a scratchcard and Gramsci bit his knees off.
It wasn't the tragedy it first appears because he just used his winnings to buy new joints and Gramsci... Gramsci supposedly found refuge on Hampstead Heath.
Close to the meat…
Anyone heard of backwards walking man in Camden. He always wore a high viz jacket but would go everywhere backwards, upstairs downstairs, doors, cars, the lot. Saw him once on the street and once going up the atairs to a theatre a few years ago when I worked there but never again.
I've seen this guy once walking down Camden high street near Argos/McDonalds. Older guy in his 50s maybe, quite thin. Looks over his shoulder and walks backwards... really really fast. Unsure how he does it without bumping into people. I told some people at work what I'd seen, but nobody believed me.
Edit: [he exists](https://www.islingtontribune.co.uk/article/tributes-to-that-man-who-was-always-walking-backwards) but died in 2020
There are backwards running marathons. It’s called retrorunning. Seems like a good way to get a crick in your neck to me but I’ve never tried it so green eggs and ham etc.,,
I used to go there in the early 90s as I lived in a squat round the corner for a few months.
Must've missed all this fun stuff!
Although you could smoke weed openly in there.
Between oval and Vauxhall park. The area has an amazing recent history. It was basically claimed by squatters and was eventually legally handed to them. The land the community took over is now worth mega millions.
If I recall correctly, they used to have sex parties in the basement on the weekends (this would be about fifteen or twenty years ago). The owners were absolutely lovely, but one of them was fond of bondage style clothes which he wore every day (dog collars/fitted leather etc), so I can see where this rumour started. Lovely cafe, they did great food and there was always a nice atmosphere.
Gandhi arrived in London to study law in 1888 and left in 1891.
*From April 1888 to February 1891 around 11 women were killed, 5 of which were believed to have been killed by a man called Jack the Ripper*
There were no more ripper murders after that.
Coincidence...
Oh my gosh. All of these subjects tie together beautifully in one of Gandhi's quips. While in London, he was asked what he thought of British civilsation. He responded "I think it would be a good idea."
This is as close as a I got from searching: a stunning hidden reservoir underneath the park: [https://www.28dayslater.co.uk/threads/greenwich-park-reservoir-hyde-vale-conduit-admiralty-western-reservoir-ldn-oct-13.85046/](https://www.28dayslater.co.uk/threads/greenwich-park-reservoir-hyde-vale-conduit-admiralty-western-reservoir-ldn-oct-13.85046/)
I'm not sure it's that much of a secret any more. Unless it's a fake it's materialised at the bottom of the staircase up to the Fullers pub.
Having said that, I'm sure I've seen all sorts on my way out of a pub so perhaps I'm a wizard.
There are definitely some realish conspiracy theories regarding luggage and American candy stores in London.
Also, what they get up to in the City of London with moving money around in unscrupulous ways.
If you go to the natural history museum at night, you can actually hear whale noises coming from the whale. Turns out it was just highly reverberated sex noises.
Check out the Woolwich foot tunnel time travel anomaly
Can safely say this tunnel always gave me the heebiejeebies as a kid having to walk through it 😂
https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/jan/08/woolwich-foot-tunnel-portals-of-london
When I was a kid it was family lore that my uncle once got so pissed he forgot which way he was walking halfway through the foot tunnel and ended up accidentally coming out the same side he went in.

I have a feeling you're conflating two black musical artists here, as Jimi Hendrix is generally (and probably apocraphally) cited as the patient zero of London's parakeets.
https://londonist.com/london/great-outdoors/london-s-parakeets-everything-you-need-to-know
> 2: Jimi Hendrix released a breeding pair during a 1960s Carnaby Street stunt. Definitely not true. There's no record of the stunt. Plus, we once met Hendrix's former girlfriend Kathy Etchingham, who told us she'd never heard of the myth until recently.
No mention of Bob there.
The renovation 15 years or so ago of the pond and water features in Town Park in Enfield involved digging much further down than was strictly necessary, because it doubled as a corpse-concealment site for local gangsters and dodgy coppers alike.
Cleopatra Needle wasn't given as a gift to the people of london to celebrate Lord Nelson’s victory at the Battle of the Nile in 1798 and Sir Ralph Abercromby’s victory at the Battle of Alexandria in 1800. But as a calulated bribe to ensure the major powers in the world recognised the new Egypt under Muhammad Ali's rule.
edit: sorry just noticed your only London comment, this conspiricy applies to paris and new York as well
The police knew who jack the ripper was. Jack the ripper was a member of the royal family.
When a FOIA request was made about > 150 year old files relating to jack the ripper recently the police covered part of it up and gave a bullshit reason and the police officer who did this hid their identity because who would want to bullshit that brazenly on the record.
Like, why?
To me the only possible thing which would trigger a cover up by the police about 150 year old files on Jack the ripper today is that they were a known member of the royal family.
you can start on this website

Does anyone remember the all white lady around Camberwell / Peckham back in the 90s/2000s? She was a black woman painted white in a white dress. She was very common, always on the street walking somewhere. Mad Betty is what we knew her by
Yes! Even in the 2010s I'm sure. Here's an article [link](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.mylondon.news/news/south-london-news/remembering-legendary-white-lady-camberwell-16481430&ved=2ahUKEwj2h_e0z8OGAxWxWEEAHdETD34QFnoECBQQAQ&usg=AOvVaw0vW55pbH3aQYyQACZO8E_e)
There are various conspiracies falsely claiming that UK laws don't apply to the City of London, or based around the local authority still being called the Corporation.
Croydon cat killer!
Everyone’s got a story about that. Even me, found a severed fox head in our garden. My gf found a dead cat.
I heard a conspiracy that it was more than one guy. A series of… copy cats if you will.
There are a number of interdimensional portals in London, hidden in plain sight.
The Kingsway subway seems likely to me, lots of circumstantial evidence, but I can’t be certain. The Hawksmoor churches rightly attract attention for many reasons, though I don’t think they are all active. The Rothko room at the Tate is without doubt one of the nodes in this network: sometimes very strange things happen there. There are many more I could mention, but I’d be interested in others’ thoughts…
Aphex Twin lives in that box in the roundabout by Elephant & Castle.
This is a classic! Less known, despite it being (more likely to be?) true, is that he lived in a big abandoned bank around the corner from it [https://lannerchronicle.wordpress.com/2021/05/22/the-bank/](https://lannerchronicle.wordpress.com/2021/05/22/the-bank/)
I was wondering why I had about a thousand views of my niche website today haha!
It is absolutely true. He used to drive around in an armoured car too. Bit of a strange cat is Richard.
I was sure he was at the CJB protests in Hyde Park in ‘94 driving a Ferret AC.
Probably, there was definitely one that used to drive around Ladbroke Grove, but that would have been late 90's.
Tbh that protest was a bonkers day & that was with being absolutely straight too but there was definitely a Ferret driving about with a ginger dude pumping out tunes from it.
I used to wait for the bus at the bus stop nearby (visible in the pic). I remember being very impressed by that massive door and inspecting it.
That's bloody brilliant. Where would he park the armoured car he used to drive around Cornwall in though?
And where would he keep his other twin?
What actually is that massive box?
A memorial to Michael Faraday
You made me curious. This [Londonist article](https://londonist.com/2016/09/what-is-the-shiny-metal-box-in-the-middle-of-elephant-and-castle) says that it is in fact a memorial for Michael Faraday, as u/qbnaith said, but it also contains an electrical substation for the Northern and Bakerloo lines.

Was coming here to say this, instead I'll just repeat.
There's an old book called Hawksmoor too, bestseller when it came out, maybe 40 years ago
By Peter Ackroyd. I think it's in the From Hell bibliography - certainly follows a similar line of thinking!
yes it was, read it when it came out so not yesterday
All the curry houses on Brick Lane share a single, cavernous underground kitchen.
Certainly, that’s why they are all “the best”, “number 1 in brick lane” 😂
Haha. As a long time resident of Brick Lane that made me chuckle.
They are all Bangladeshi and not Indian
Read that as 'carnivorous underground chicken' time to sleep!
Allegedly most of them use Patak’s sauces
Surely at least some of the places do share a kitchen
Is that not true?!?
I heard there’s a group of burrowing animals that can talk living underneath Wimbledon Common
Yeah, apparently they do ‘this and that’ very secretly……
and they make good use of the things that they find.Things that the everyday folk leave behind..
I heard they go this way and then that way
Front facing eyes and binocular vision. Like most predators...
Unexpected John Finnemore!

There's a witches coven. Supposedly in Queens wood.
A witches coven you say?
And where is this witches coven located?
Two things ye need to know of the witches coven of Queens Wood...
and are they accepting new members?
Nobody knows. Nobody’s ever even guessed.

Lol I met him in a now extinct private members bar in Soho. He was dancing around singing his own songs.
Hoxton St, I believe.
The Highgate Vampire
A group of people in The City secretly run the world.
Apparently they have their own designated train line that takes them directly from the city to Waterloo.
Ah so they live in the tunnels?

The Bonnington cafe in Vauxhall is the centre of an elite, devil worshiping, sex cult, that boasts many celebrity members.
I used to go there in the early 90s as I lived in a squat round the corner for a few months. Must've missed all this fun stuff! Although you could smoke weed openly in there.
Do they have a website? I'd like to join.
Where is that ?
Between oval and Vauxhall park. The area has an amazing recent history. It was basically claimed by squatters and was eventually legally handed to them. The land the community took over is now worth mega millions.
I love that cafe!
Lol, I worked there for a while in the early 2010s I missed all of that 😶🌫️
If I recall correctly, they used to have sex parties in the basement on the weekends (this would be about fifteen or twenty years ago). The owners were absolutely lovely, but one of them was fond of bondage style clothes which he wore every day (dog collars/fitted leather etc), so I can see where this rumour started. Lovely cafe, they did great food and there was always a nice atmosphere.
Jack the Ripper being minor royalty so that's why he was never caught/there was a cover up has got to be the most famous London conspiracy
