The City of London is well known for its markets and world wide reputation for business including the lucrative derivative markets.
Who could have imagined that the City still manages to kick up derivatives of the humble bollard. Close to the recent development in New Street Square and the very fine but much older Gough Square you'll find these rather interesting looking bollards that bear no resemblance to the usual "cannon/dandy" type bollards we've all got so used to.
Welcome once again to bollards of London...
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...

Cheap looking mini-bollard...
October bollard fest brings you the cheapest looking bollard that has ever been placed upon a street/road in London.
You can find this cheap looking mini-bollard at the junction of Ebury Street and Elizabeth Street. Ironically the local council has just spent millions on this junction and it is rather odd they would blight the area with such an odd looking mini-bollard.

Welcome to Bollard Fest...
In Germany they celebrate in October with wonderful beer festivals but what can we celebrate here in the UK and low and behold the Great London bollards...
Over the next 20/21 days we shall publish pictures of bollards from all over the capital on a daily basis and here we start with a few rusty bollards which can be found on Hampton Street SE17 close to the iconic London Lipstick at the Elephant and Castle.
Welcome to Bollards of London but more importantly welcome to Bollard Fest...
