A wintry scene in South East London. Calypso Gardens is a small park in North Peckham. The park, and Calypso Crescent are named in recognition of the large number of Afro-Caribbean population who used to live in the North Peckham Estate, which previously occupied this site. Calypso is a type of music which originates in the West Indies. The housing which surrounds the park is quite new, dating from around 2005 when this area was regenerated. In the distance is a chimney, built in the 1970s as part of the North Peckham Estate's heating system.
