Even tags about arm-rests don't cover all the ways of deterring people from sleeping on benches. > then it could be done for benches. > I'm not even sure it's needful for benches. Nice to know, maybe, but only if you're homeless yet also have a working smartphone and data plan. OTOH, those Camden benches look very uncomfortable even for sitting on, so if I were looking for a bench to sit on I'd want to avoid those. -- Paul
