Sylvan Way
"Sylvan or silvan refers to an association with the woodland. Specifically, that which inhabits the wood, is made of tree materials, or comprises the forest itself. The term can also refer to a person who resides in the woods or a spirit of the wood. In mythology, the term also refers to deities or spirits of the woods.
The term in English is from the Latin silva meaning "forest, woods." (wiktionary)
They've got a few trees down here, so I guess that's fair enough.
Not sure about the Wood Spirit stuff though...Malt Whisky, possibly....

Kingsway, Coney Hall
Although it now seems the quintessence of suburbia, in the 1930s this street was at the centre of a rent- and mortgage-strike led by the local woman (and Communist Party member) Elsy Borders, as a protest against shoddy building standards in the then newly-erected estate and the way that building societies had been in cahoots with speculative builders to get buyers into these substandard houses. http://www.grahamstevenson.me.uk/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1189:-borders-elsy-and-jim&catid=2:b&Itemid=98 Clearly the fact they are still here indicates that a lot of remedial work has happened since.

Church Drive
A short roadside section of the London Loop between the two City of London Commons, West Wickham and Spring Park.
Strange chalet style roofline on these two semis. Eye-catching but possibly not the best use of space, as the nearest one has decided by squaring up the triangle.
