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...

Keep Left...
Just when I thought this style of plastic "keep left" bollard was going of fashion here in the capital along comes the Boris bike or should I say male bike hire scheme painting blue lanes along Millbank and placing central reservations where they are not required along with the latest design of "keep left" traffic bollard.
It appears the "bendy bollard" may well be going out of fashion and this new design which is different to the similar style of bollard that used to be square at each end with a rectangular body/upright shape.
If we look closely at this type/design we can see that the base is hinged allowing access to the area containing the bulb/lens. The body of the bollard tapers slightly but is coloured like all similar designs. Predominately white with yellow panels and the blue circle with white "keep left" arrow.
Welcome to a super summer special of Bollards of London...
