Noun

Camden bench (plural Camden benches)

  1. A type of street furniture designed to restrict certain uses and behaviours and be usable only as a bench.
    • The Camden Bench is not an anomaly: more and more, our cities are being designed to keep those deemed as ‘undesirables’ out. By its very nature this is ‘hostile architecture’—urban design with a focus on exclusion, design that inhibits community and tells us who is welcome and who is not.2020, Noreena Hertz, The Lonely Century, →ISBN
