After the plaque was unveiled by members of the band, it promptly disappeared. Trophy hunting was suspected, which would have been particularly daring as there is a police station literally feet away. It transpired that the Greenwich Borough Hall is a listed building. Greenwich Borough Council gave permission for the plaque to be erected temporarily, on condition that it was then taken down awaiting planning application. The plaque was re-erected some time in February 2011. It was originally in a prominent position on the side of the building, but is now stuck next to a fire alarm.
See Greenwich Town Hall for previous buildings.
