This fashion is more Kensington and Chelsea than all of London but I'm all

with a load of bollards.
Presumably the evil motorists now knock down the bollards. Are the
bollards any better for cyclists than railings?
In Cambridge the bollards used to sneak up (literally) on the motorists
and take them by surprise.
We have some of those in Aylesbury. An installation in Manchester is
the subject of several YouTube videos:
