Welcome to bollards of London (incorporating bollards of Britain), a site dedicated to those rather odd looking pavement objects you find in the most interesting of places. Bollards have a history richer than most objects placed upon the pavement and we can easily find some from the earlier part of the 19th Century. Welcome once again to bollards of London and please do follow/contact me on the twitter @BollardsEngland or via gmail john.bollards@gmail.com #thankyou...

Peckham Bollards...
Yes take a trip down to East Dulwich Grove in Peckham south east London and you'll come across the now famous Anthony Gormley bollards.
These bollards certainly do stand out from the usual bollards that we witness all over the capital.
These two bollards don't really look that interesting but they certainly show that conceptual artists get in on the act everywhere and not just in galleries...
I wonder what these bollards would fetch at auction ?

I used to live just opposite some of these (junction of East Dulwich Road and Fenwick Road) and they seemed to be constantly getting scraped by vehicles turning the corner too tight; every now and then one would go missing and in a couple of weeks it was replaced.
