This fashion is more Kensington and Chelsea than all of London but
I'm all in favour of getting rid of railings. They are usually a
real danger to cyclists. Kerbs are another matter though. Without
them motorists drive all over the pavements. We learnt that in
Cambridge 20 years ago and ended up with a load of bollards.

Railings are a damned inconvenience to pedestrians too. Bollards are
fine.

Bollards are a major problem for people with impaired sight. The County
Council learnt a lot about disability at the time. A pity they didn't find
it out before planning the pedestrianisation.
