Tox
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- For the town in France, see Tox, Haute-Corse.
Tox short for Toxic, is believed to be the most prolific graffiti tagger on the London Underground since 2000. His simple tags TOX 02, TOX 03, TOX 04 etc. in the style of TAKI 183 can be seen many hundreds of times across above-ground sections of the network in Central London, particularly the Metropolitan Line.
In March 2004, 19 year old Daniel Halpern, from Stockwell, was fined and subjected to an Anti-Social Behaviour Order banning him from using the London Underground, after CCTV footage had shown him writing TOX 03 on a wall at Gloucester Road station.
TOX 04 tags were seen on photos released by ABC of the trains affected by the 7 July 2005 London bombings.
There have since been sightings of TOX 05 tags on the Underground. TOX 06 tags are also visible in certain places, including Bristol and Leicester. They can also be seen in places such as Loughborough Junction railway station, although whether these tags were written by the same person or not is disputed.
