The Biscuit Factory, formerly known as the Tower Bridge Business Complex, is a complex of office and manufacturing units sited in the old Peek Frean biscuit factory, the latter having been a major employer in Bermondsey for decades. The Biscuit Factory houses at least one TV production company and British TV viewers will often see the buildings, streets and railway arches of this area as the backdrop to car chases or police stakeouts. The graffiti "Fundin' Cuts and Corporate Sluts" is a product of the deficit-dominated atmosphere of 2010. It lasted about a week in this form before work began on covering it up. I'm no great fan of graffiti, to put it mildly, but it seems that there's a definite hierarchy of response: things like this offering political comment are targeted immediately whilst teenagers' idiot tagging can last for years.
