Welcome To Sodom: ‘Anti-Homeless’ Spikes Spark Outrage
More: ‘Anti-Homeless’ Spikes on Southwark Bridge Road Spark Outrage
Metal spikes installed outside a complex of plush London flats, apparently to stop homeless people from sleeping there, have sparked outrage.
The 17-inch long metal studs are embedded in the floor outside a block of luxury flats on Southwark Bridge Road in central London.
The ‘Ethical Pioneer’ posted photos of the ‘anti-homeless’ spikes on Twitter, with another user comparing them to spikes used to keep pigeons off buildings.
One resident, who wished to remain anonymous, told the Telegraph: ‘There was a homeless man asleep there about six weeks ago.
‘Then about two weeks ago all of a sudden studs were put up outside.
‘I presume it is to deter homeless people from sleeping there.’
