This is the Stanley Road entrance. There is a similar facade and large forecourt facing onto the A311 round the other side and the garage occupies most of the land in between apart from a fire station just to the left of this picture. That's the fire station tower behind the buses. It was originally built for trams by the London United Tramway Company hence the height of the doors which are considerably taller than a modern 2 deck bus. Facts for Bus historians on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fulwell_Bus_Garage. The place now seems to be run by an outfit called Abellio which sounds more like the Italian for beer gut than anything to do with buses.
