Anybody else notice weird stuff on top of some bus shelters?

I was taking the 68 into town yesterday and I noticed, on top of two of the bus shelters, these little weird pin cushion- things. I think it was up Kingsway past Holborn. On one bus shelter was an electric blue pin-cushion-y thing with spikes come out of it. And just along a few bus shelters down the road there is was again in a different colour. I've seen odd stuff before on top of the shelters, not just your usual deteriorating banana peal or a shoe, just stuff that makes you go "huh? How did that get up there?"


I?m wondering if anyone else has noticed weird things on top of the bus shelters whilst they travel around our great capital? Is this just me?

I have only noticed the decaying rubbish, but I think there should be green roofs on every bus shelter, or at least in places wherre they are less likely to be vandalised. I had the idea a long time ago, then saw that it's already happened in Sheffield on a very small scale. It'd be relatively easy and would increase biodiversity in the city.

There are various urban Myths regarding this stuff, from Aliens to street gangs marking their turf boundaries


Personally, I think its a load of workshy talentless camberwell art students doing art happenings for their own amusement

    • Hiya, has anyone picked up a rug from a front garden on Heber road opposite the school around 9am last week. It was hanging on a rail it has a lot of sentimental value and wasn’t being discarded of. Would be very happy to see it come home. If anyone has any information please send a message it was a brownish colour.
    • Surely you'd have to have been living under a rock for the last four years not to know that Starmer's father was a toolmaker. It's so tired and reeks of desperation. If he had any dynamism or big ideas, he wouldn't have to fall back on it time and time again.  Having said that, I do completely understand that big ideas are nigh impossible when he's going to be inheriting problems that are, frankly, beyond any government's ability to fix. Or fix any time soon. 
    • You have my complete sympathy. In my case, I discovered you can't even go to an eye emergency clinic any more. You have to phone round opticians on a list who are part of a scheme. The only one in East Dulwich who was part of the scheme had a six week waiting list. That isn't very helpful when you are in danger of going blind. I was lucky that another East Dulwich optician told me to try one in Crofton Park, who was able to see me that day. They told me it was good that the ulcer had been caught early. Hollow laugh. It was three days and a long long saga  before I could get the eye drops. Ironically, I paid for a private prescription rather than the optician sending it to my GP to prescribe because I thought it would be quicker 😭 And then I couldn't get the effing drops anywhere anyway.
