Bollards of London...the City revisited !

Well can you believe it a bollard that commemorates the 800th anniversary of the position of the Lord Mayor of the City of London.

You can find this particular type on Salisbury Square EC4 just of Fleet Street. I must say what detail and a fantastic paint job of the coat of arms.

It must be said that the most dandy and ornate of all London's bollards are to be found with the boundaries of the square mile...

Zebra Bollards !

I'm sure here in the UK you have all heard of the Zebra crossing but I've never heard of the Zebra bollard !

What you may have noticed is that this bollard is of a similar design to those found in the city or should I say London borough of Westminster. The only difference here though is the lack of crest and the rather distinctive paint job.

This bollard can be found in Cubbit Street, N1 and who knows what other bollards the good borough of Islington may have installed on a pavement possibly near you.

Bollards of London...

Now these two bollards are very odd because they are in the Square mile and certainly painted up like the other more dandy bollards we have found here before...

However they have no date stamp nor coat of arms of the Corporation of London.

These bollards can be found just off Fenchurch Street and with three red circular stripes and a white top I'm sure you won't miss them...

Stone Bollards of Smith Square SW1...

If you happen to be taking a stroll around the village of Westminster pop along to Smith Square SW1 and admire the rather coarse but effective stone bollards...

Compared to the cast iron cannon variety these seem rather odd and look more prehistoric or should I say have a more stonehenge look and feel to them...

I know one thing I wouldn't want to come into contact with one of these if I was driving...
