The 197th St. Marylebone Parish Church...

No public right of way...

We are outside St. Marylebone Parish Church on London's busy Marylebone Road. In front of the parish church we can see a grey painted square based bollard that has a ribbed/ridged body that tapers  towards an octagonal pointed head/top. This type/design of bollard can be found around London but rarely with a shield/badge attached.

Just below the middle of the body of the bollard we can see clearly a shield shaped sign that informs us that we have 'No public right of way' on the pavement directly in front of the steps of the church. Taking a closer look we can see the eyelet where a rope/chain could be placed to keep us off there land/pavement.

The colour of the bollard is important, it merges rather well with the grey stone stairs/paving slabs, could it be a form of urban camouflage ?
