Andrew Horton, 33, of Woking, Surrey, took a picture of the studs outside of the block of privately-owned flats on Southwark Bridge Road in the borough of Southwark as he walked to work on Wednesday.
Being privately owned the owners can do with it WTF they want, including spikes.
Case closed.

2 points, aside from the obvious human concerns-
The flats INSIDE the building may be privately owned but the spikes are in a communal, shared space. There has to be health and safety violations at play here.
In the image they appeared to be back in the space by the door, not out on the sidewalk.

This isn't the only incidence of spikes going up. They've also started appearing in public buildings and around universities, where the private defence can't be used.
Spiking public areas is at least open to debate for the obvious reasons.

As opposed to all property being owned by
The People?
