Broken: Rehearsal studio door bell
Felix Wells submits a picture taken in Kentish Town, London:
Me and my band spotted this doorbell at a rehearsal studio in Kentish Town. We were trying to figure out where the door bell was for a very long time before we figured out that the arrow was irrelevant and the door bell was staring us in the face.
Congratulations if you can figure out what the arrow is for - it appeared to be pointing at the door.
My theory: there's another door to the right of the pic. The arrow is for disambiguation, saying "THIS doorbell is for THAT door over there."
Or maybe there's a bored security person there that decided to liven up his/her days by putting an arrow there and watching the chaos ensue! I've heard there's security cameras on every corner now in London...
If I had more pictures of the surroundings, then it would be clear. But it isn't. Still, the arrow might be pointing to the bell right outside the door.

Could have figured the bell was right there, but I would go check to see what the arrow pointed to first. I wouldn't want to piss off the management... :)
