Can anyone tell me what the huge black post next to HOP station is? It looks like an upside down lamp post. I've always wondered what it was when walking past.

Does it read car number plates?

I cant see any camera equipment on it. I have attached a photo of the post.

Cellphone mast.

It's an O2 mast.

Thank you

there was a campaign to stop it being put up at one point i seem to remember
