Parliament Square Padlocks

Protest against Parliament Square's closure by attaching a padlock to one of the fences.

Large grey fences have obstructed Parliament Square for well over a year now.

It is not clear for how much longer Londoners will be denied access to one of the capital's much used and enjoyed public spaces.

The authorities have not been transparent in stating the circumstances that the square will come back into public use: as any visitor can see, it clearly has nothing to do with the grass growing back...

In protest at its indefinite closure, I've attached a padlock to one of the fences in mockery of the London authorities. I hope others will do the same, and adorn the fence panels surrounding the square with padlocks.

Free the square!
