I never knew that these exsisted,proberbly walked passed them many times and never realised.Here's one example if go to 23/24 Leinster Gardens,Paddington,London W2 you will find this:

Can you spot the dummy house?



Here the building shares the same balconies,columns and decoration as its neighbours but is given away by the blackened out windows.



Close up of the entrance to 24 Leinster Gardens, complete with railings, door and plants.There's a long tradition of wagsters sending pizza deliveries,taxi cabs and religious representatives to this address!



Here's looking at the back of Leinster Gardens from Porchester Gardens.



Thats right the fake house is used to cover up the underground track and tunnel.

Like i mentioned the purpose of these is purely cosmetic,to make them blend in with the surroundings,in this case its mainly used to cover up the tunnel and tracks,
