We've all asked this question a thousand times: "Where do all the broken skateboards go?" Well, if you're in London, you'll find a hoard of them respectfully discarded on the southern support pier of Hungerford Bridge. Since 2009, the bridge - which is near to a famous skate park underneath Queen Elizabeth Hall on the South Bank of the river - has become the final resting place of many a cherished board and the occasional skate shoe.

A website was even started up for people to post obituaries for their deceased decks, although it hasn't attracted many tributes. Nonetheless, make sure to pay your respects as you pass by on your way to the Houses of Parliament.
