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...

The Square Mile...
The City of London Corporation (the square mile) have more bollards per square foot that any other London Borough. The only exception to this rule might by Whitehall and the village of Westminster.
These wooden bollards appear at the top of Fetter Lane with a former junction of High Holborn. Theses bollards mark a gateway for cyclists notice the three groves at the top and also that the top/head is like a flattened or shallow pitched pyramid. Why would this be you may ask well it probably stops people leaving empty coffee cups or cans.
If we look into the back drop of this picture you'll notice more of the traditional style of bollard that we are used to finding in the Square Mile...
