Metal spikes designed to stop homeless people sheltering
in doorways have caused outrage, after photographs of a London building went
viral. The property, a building of flats on Southwark Bridge Road, has a series

Twitter, where they have been shared thousands of times. The pictures upset a
lot of people, with many comparing them to spikes used to stop pigeons landing
on buildings. Read more on the Daily Mirror website.
