Running slightly later than schedule, would appreciate some extra time at the rendevorus point
Here’s the elusive bollard....A picture please ?
Sounds great. I can think of a few things you might have added/exchanged....A good turnout for today's ride - many more people and we'd struggle to keep the group together. Here are the places and things we visited. I hope you enjoyed it and learnt something.
1. Police bollard and blue lamp - Belgravia police station (until 1993), Gerald Road (see photo above)
2. 'Penfold' hexagonal post box from 1866 (not 'pillar' box) - Cornwall Gardens.
3. Mile post - Kensington Gore.
4. KGB lamp post - South Audley Street.
5. Torch snuffers - Charles Street, W1.
6. Pineapples - Old Queen Street, SW1.
7. Wooden block paving - rear of County Hall.
8. Webb patent sewer gas lamp - Carting Lane.
9. K2 and K6 phone boxes - Carey Street.
10. Drinking fountain (Metropolitan Drinking Fountain and Cattle Trough Association) - Giltspur Street
11. Police box - Guildhall Yard
12. Canon bollard - St Helens Bishopsgate
13. May Pole - St Andrew Undershaft, St Mary Axe.
14. LHP valve and accumulator pump - Hooper Street.
15. Fire mark plate - Fournier Street, Spitalfields.
16. Early Street sign - Great James Street.
17. Coal Hole covers - Russell Square.
And added bonus - the urine deflector.
I bet you'll see pineapples everywhere from now on :-)
I'm hoping to run another ride on Sunday 7 July. However, this will depend on whether I have time to research and plan something suitable. At the moment, the likely theme is 'parks and gardens', however, I'll post a separate thread in a few days with all the details if it is going ahead.
Cheers
Battersea is south London Paul...Still planning to be there.
Anyone up in town insanely early tomorrow (though you would have a wait for the ride) may be interested in this.

Note - no access to Battersea Park - last time I saw it it launched from Burgess Park and no such issue - south London so much nicer.
yes for some reason this dropped into my mind later in the day.Battersea is south London Paul...
