Category:Dolphin lamp posts in London

From Wikimedia Commons, the free media repository

Jump to navigation Jump to search

Dolphin lamp posts, sometimes (perhaps more correctly) described as sturgeon lamp posts, provide electric light along much of the Thames Embankment. Two stylised dolphins or sturgeons writhe around the base of a standard lamp post, supporting a fluted column bearing electric lights in an opaque white globe, topped by a metal crown. Many of the lamps are mounted on granite plinths.
