Death waits at the lights. Elephant and Castle.


How the other half lives ...


Tenement blocks, early 1900s, Iliffe Road ...


Hand-painted sign, high quality ...


Alhambra Leicester Square London Palace of Varieties ... (thanks to  for full text)


Erstwhile sausage shop chain (so I'm told by )


Railings in Sutherland Square ...


Corner of the square (which, awkwardly enough, is surely only London garden square to be bisected by a railway line) ...


Panafrique Travel ...


Fading florist's ...


Unusual carved street sign ...


Grocer's ...


A lime kiln in Burgess Park ...


1901 Baths and Washhouses ...


Tiles immortalising the 'Camberwell Beauty' rare butterfly ...

Glengall Road/Terrace has these ridiculous but endearing neo-classical stucco-clad villas ...


Best Banksy in London ...


Tardis-like corner shop ...


Come into the Gardino, Maud ...


Either a very small police helicopter, a very big tree, or there may be something else going on here ...


Decorative corbel supporting Indian Take Away ...


Odd iron fish-scale partition in porch ...


And the giant alien prong that rules SE1 ...
