Nice spot. The frame is showing
https://viewer.blipstar.com/map?uid=2470030&value=10&gui=true&type=nearest&width=auto&tag=&autolocate=true&search=NW1
. If you vary the width of the browser window it seems that the
attribution at the bottom disappears if it's narrower than some
critical value. Also, the attribution that is shown isn't technically
compliant -- see https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright . It appears
the map etc is being provided as a service by http://www.blipstar.com/
using a Mapbox map. I suspect it's one of those two that we really
need to convince to do better with the attribution. Did I remember
reading somewhere else that it was a known issue / bone of contention
that Mapbox were providing a service with unattributed or incorrectly
attributed maps to their clients?

Robert.
