London Transport Museum is hosting a Flickr scavenger hunt on Sunday 6th July in Covent Garden as part of the events for the London Festival of Architecture 2008. Focusing on the transport network's quirky design features, in a race against time teams of photographers will have to unlock a series of cryptic clues in order to snap roundels, station murals and much more. Have you got what it takes to get all the shots and make it back to the Museum? Prizes for the first team back (with the most correct answers), and - voted by the public - the best team and the best picture uploaded on Flickr.

Below are the best photos we took on the day. You can see more in our photo pool

Photos taken by Bloo Phoenix, professorfox, RachelC and kev t.

 Zone A

1. "I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse." The Godfather would be proud of the management of these roads where this roundel is.

We missed Sicilian Avenue and headed to Sardinia Street which is further down Kingway.

 

2. Find the rest of this roundel. We were given part of this picture. Billy knew that it was a photo from the front of Holborn Station:

4.  Find this roundel.

1. Find this roundel with a dark habit. Billy suggested Blackfriars station:

4. Power to this St. Paul's Roundel!

We missed this one!

 

The Challenges:

1. Spot a dial-a-ride roundel.

We didn't find any :(

2. Snap one of the museum's own roundels:

3. Find as many roundels as you can on non-transport related items.
