It’s art, but some of them are functional benches, to varying degrees. I actually quite like them.
wow the extent to which they re ready to go for a homesless person not to have a seating space!
That’s where the foxes exercise at night
They are for kids to play on as much as anything.
It looks comfortable. You lean against it don’t you? Rather than sit?
Remember that the purpose of every bench you see that has a weird design is first and foremost making life just a bit harder for homeless people. Aesthetics is secondary to punishing poor people.
NO! This is one of the BEST ONES! Think of all the ways you could sit on it?!
So many hours spent slipping and sliding up and down the Jeppe Hein benches 🙂
Actually looked at it and thought I’d easily take a nap there. I wouldn’t because I’d like to keep my belongings, but i could.

It’s not a bench, it’s a hamster wheel.
Not for someone with scoliosis!

I raise you this stupidity
Fits one American
No, because it’s not coveted in pigeon cack in the middle of a lake of litter.
It’s got to be a contender!!
Useless but there’s got to be more useless benches than that
I’m imagine nails sticking out, smeared in dog shit, broken
It’s an art installation first and more of a instagram/photo bench. Plenty of normal benches within metres of these ones.
it’s not the worst tbh, an art piece that serves a function as well assuming the front is the london public transport symbol and not just red

Yes
Mind The Gap
pretty neat hot wheels track though
Mate that’s a sculpture of the TFL logo, to celebrate 125 years of public transport. I know this cause I pulled that fact out of my arse.
Thats the best bench ever! I can’t wait to get on it and go go go!!
-A hamster, probably
There’s a load of far more useless benches in the Palace of Westminster.
I’m not surprised, given the location. That whole area was designed for architect enjoyment first, human enjoyment second.
Cool a dedicated bench for a hamster. 🐹
Useless?? Name another bench where I do a loop-the-loop on my tiny bicycle!
I think the purpose is to bring strangers together
I took a picture three years ago of a random person sitting in this and forgot about it until now

Honestly if I was tired enough I’d sit there, I’m shameless
And yet, it is worn from use…
No, the one at Tottenham’s stadium is even more useful as it never makes any difference.
Spurs inevitably lose
