View across the small public garden in Catherine Grove: straight ahead is Charter Buildings, the former Blackheath Road Higher Elementary School built in 1904 and now converted into flats, and on the far right is the Hilton Doubletree hotel, formerly Maurice Drummond House a police sector House built in 1946. The garden, responsibility for whose maintenance is not clear (the Royal Borough of Greenwich do not list it in their directory), is in a poor state and is rarely mowed or otherwise cared for. That said, local residents do tend one of the flower beds and occasionally prune the shrubs.
