The angled layout of the blocks forms a semi-enclosed space whose focal point is a group of mature trees. The 1950s estate retained some of the grand old oaks that studded the grounds of Kingswood House. They create a noble and notable setting that is in scale with the blocks of flats. The map of 1958-73 shows a number of individual large trees, though fewer than the map of 1916. https://www.southwark.gov.uk/events-culture-and-heritage/explore-culture-in-southwark/heritage-and-local-history/historic-southwark/kingswood-house?chapter=2 Telfer House is on the left, Markham House on the right.
