Weird object in Ackerman Road

Ackerman Road leads from Loughborough Road towards Lothian Road. Apparently known locally as the 'Camberwell Submarine' (for obvious reasons!) It is a vent shaft for a subterranean boiler room. The high pressure gas boilers are used to heat two council estates nearby. See http://www.urban75.org/london/camberwell-submarine.html for amazing images inside it.
