Lancaster Gate W2...

Well here at Lancaster Gate W2 within the City of Westminster we find another bollard but this time instead of the crest of the council we have a urban clearway sign on a information plate...

Hard to believe we have so much money to spend on these objects...

Hyde Park, Lancaster Gate W2.

When you enter Hyde Park via Lancaster Gate you'll notice this rather plain looking bollard with signs attached informing those wonderful people who cycle to effectively dismount.....

Yes even the Royal Parks have bollards and just wait till I visit Regent's Park...

City of London Corporation bollard

This must be one of the most dandy and ornate bollards you will find anywhere in the capital.....

Look at the detail on the crest and the date beneath, the corporation must be truly proud of the bollards they place upon the pavements within the square mile....

I rather like the way the bollard is topped off, the red stripes plus stars on a white top and background...

City of Westminster bollard

Yes here is a City of Westminster Bollard very solid and notice the two third ribbed design with integral coat of arms approximately half way up.

Bollards of London

Well here is a Thames water bollard, in fact a bollard with a real use other than telling you to keep left or seeking to protect a public building.......

Bollards of London...

Welcome to a site dedicated to the world of bollards, yes no matter where you walk in the beautiful city called London you may well come across the weird and wonderful object known has the bollard.

Each week I'll photograph and catalogue some of these beautiful but pointless objects.....

I hope you enjoy the journey and who knows maybe we can find the oldest, the most opulent bollard in the world right here in London....
