Staying at home during a time of coronavirus the photographer is restricted to new viewpoints, here from a loft window. Solar panels, TV aerial and VHF radio are on this roof. The red building is a Holiday Express hotel at Gypsy Corner; there are planning applications for a 55 storey tower block on the site. Behind it under construction with a crane is a 31-storey student residence for Imperial College on the Perfume Factory site. Seen above the chimney are cranes for the "One West Point" development up to 42 storeys. The foreground 1920s and 1930s houses are in Balfour Road.
