The green area seems to be given over to Nature, along with a drinking fountain to the left of shot. There appears to have been a fountain on this spot for about a century. See Image] for a closer look at the London feature.

It was a drive to provide good drinking water for the public that saw parliamentarian and philanthropist, Samuel Gurney, and barrister, Edward Thomas Wakefield, found the Metropolitan Free Drinking Fountain Association in 1859. With an inclusion for animal users, it later changed its name to the Metropolitan Drinking Fountain and Cattle Trough Association. Initially, the movement was aimed at the rapidly-expanding but poorly-provisioned suburbs of London. Free and healthy drinking water became a well-received gift to many and the fountains were installed in many places. This particular example now stands in a small green space in Glastonbury, although probably removed from the capital. See Image] for a location view.

This unusual house appears to have a large number of pipes and services, all of which are gleaming white. Perhaps the owners like the Pompidou Centre?

A classic phone box in someone's property, but instead of the usual graffiti and litter this one appears to have an unusual occupant or two. See william's photo Image] for a comparison and to see who has now finished their call.
