Does anyone know which way you are looking from on the Animals cover? i.e. Are you looking North with the Thames behind the Power Station or looking south? I'm a press guy and want to find the best vantage point. I always assumed the cover was vantage point looking north as the rail tracks are to the left.

I believe the pig is being tethered at the North end of the power station hence the best vantage point will probably be across the Thames either on the Chelsea Embankment or Grosvenor Road.

The event "ending" on Facebook is 9am and, as you cannot access the power station and people will only be able to view from the street, if it is ending at 9am then that implies they will be taking poor Algie the pig down. Who knows though. He may become untethered and float off into the airspace near Heathrow! :lol:

Thought I would share. There are 5 at the beginning that aren't mine, the remaining 30 are mine.

Enjoy.
