So to recap

So to recap you have to visit four locations in west london pick up the codes in each palce that will give you a map coordinate For example 51.524232 -0.073299 (its only a bloody example, don’t go here the only toy there will be you). Put the numbers in Google maps and voila you have the location go in ask for Steve or Jen and say “I’m a TOY can i have my TOY please” and you will be given your prize.

So the places you have to visit in this order are:

Graffik gallery, Portobello road W10 5TE
clues in the back garden

The old paddington Sorting office (punch drunks venue for  “The drowned man”)
Clues on the side fire escape door in Winsland Street,

1 Bramber Road W14 9PA
Clues on the the green telecoms box between North end road and No1 Bramber road

Smash Yard 22a Stable Way London W10 6QX
the clue is on the wall beside the entrance (don’t try to enter the yard there’s big scary dogs and Luke!)
Anyhow Happy hunting and good luck!

Final Clue ….Clue four.

photo

So code got here before me but hey it is his manor. So take a trip to Latimer road and venture under the westway, past the horses and into a nether world of mechanics yards and static caravans, the fourth and final clue is on the wall at the entrance of Joe rush’s old yard (mutoid waste department) . Also the head quarters of Smash who do all our production for Glastonbury. A home away from home. So once you have visited all four of the west London clues you will have all the 16 digits that will give you the final resting place of the TOY your seeking.

Clue 3 west side story

Ok so i have no clever clues for this one, and no real excuse as to why this is here, other than a good friend lives here. So get yourself over to Bramber road W14 9PB ‎ the clues on the green telecoms box at the north end  rd of the street. Only one more clue to go and you’ll have all the digits to enter into google maps and that will take you to the Toy shop at the end of the hunt.
