If you know how many there are, finding most or all of them shouldn't be

would be the one inside the Greathead statue on a traffic island in the
middle of Cornhill.


I can think of a fair few which one wouldn't be able to find unless
you knew *exactly* where to look.

A few examples off the top of my head:-
1) Southampton Street
2) one in the middle of a plant depot in Bow
3) one in the middle of a council estate between Stratford and Leyton
4) Elephant & Castle Sidings (in the bowels of the shopping centre)
5) Cambridge Park
6) Bressenden Place
7) Grass Area 14

Et cetera...

And are we sure that the Greathead statue is actually atop a vent
shaft?

It's TfL's own Area 51. Now shush, otherwise Commissioner Hendy's low-
vis clad Praedtorian Street Guard heavies might come knocking in the
midst of the night and take you away on a somewhat more ominous type
of unresolved journey...
