Pink T-34 Stompie (London)

United Kingdom / England / London
 interesting place, 1995_construction, tank on display

Soviet-era battle tank painted pink in the centre of the city. No kidding, that's a whole story behind the thing: the owner of the land wasn't allowed to build the desired building on the site so he just placed the T-34 in the place its gun facing the roadway
