A row of shops with flats above. The finely detailed but surprisingly unlisted building on the corner (644 Old Kent Road) is called Royal London Buildings and was originally the home of the Royal London Friendly Society, the flats above being used by its salesmen. (Source: http://carolineld.blogspot.co.uk/2010/03/royal-london-building-old-kent-road.html ). The ground floor is a bookmakers (Ladbrokes, although another photo Image shows that it was formerly called E Coombes). The tower in the distance is that of Christ Church Image
