When people make bold statements and publicly flaunt their considerable wealth in a inner london borough with massive inequality, then some will be in great awe of them.
At the other extreme some will enviably take great offence. Best policy is to treat such displays with indifference.

This is different to the random uninvited acts of vandalism that is perhaps becoming more common in se23 as a whole.

PS Would it be fair to say Devonshire Rd is darker in the evenings with the newer lampposts?
