Pencil fence

Along the Bayswater road, opposite Hyde Park

A good map is essential when wandering around London. One street leads onto another and before you know it you're lost. Fortunately we never got lost on our trip... but there were a few times when we didn't know exactly where we were. :-) On one such occasion we ended up finding this Pencil fence.

I love this fencing/billboard type of thing along Bayswater Road in central London. It's a novel idea to make it look like a line of pencils. I'm not sure if its an advert (it could be) or a piece of outdoor art, maybe it's both, but i love the idea anyway. You have to admit that it looks far better than a boring old wooden fence.
