18 Flickr photographers roamed the City this Saturday as part of London Transport Museum’s Roundel Scavenger Hunt to celebrate the famous circle and bars logo’s 100^th birthday.

A great time was had by all as the teams raced against the clock to solve the cryptic clues and recreate images from the Museum’s photograph collection. Images from the day were creative, inspired and just down right cool. You can check them all out through the Museum’s brand spanking new online Roundel exhibition or from our Flickr page

The first prize on the day went to Team Shleger who stormed home in record time with the most right answers to bag themselves chocolate and bubbly. But it’s not over yet as each team is now in with a chance of wining a whole lot of roundel goodies for the Best Team Photographs prize. To vote for your favourite please look at each team’s page on this site and cast your lot. You’ve got until October 17^th so get voting!
