Rik Mayall 1

Inscription

Rik Mayall, 1958 - 2014, punched his friend in the balls on a bench near this spot.
True English Heritage

This temporary plaque (photo from ) was fixed near to the spot where the bench used in filming the for the television series 'Bottom' was located. The original bench had been removed, but after Mayall's death, a petition signed by about 7,000 fans persuaded Hammersmith and Fulham Council to instal a new one.

Site: Rik Mayall (2 memorials)

W6, Hammersmith Broadway, Junction with Queen Caroline Street

We revisited the site recently and noted that a lot of the 'tributes' (including the soiled underpants) have been removed.
