@joris.lechene: You may have heard of the Landlord Special, but did you know about the London's Metropolitan Police Special for new housing developments and schools? It's basically the same: make it as bland as possible. #CapCut
We see this to a lesser extent in the USA, for example with police wanting bus shelters without roofs to protect from rain so that it is easier for police helicopters to see people inside the shelter from above.

Sounds like cops trying to make themselves more relevant by creating more problems. Like who ever thought granting cops so much power over citizens was a good idea???

That explains so much as to why some places in London look the way it looks, and it’s an incredibly depressing reason. That’s especially true because the police don’t do that as soon as the same place is privatised, e.g. the private parks that are all around London
