Downs Road
Edwardian villas on Downs Road, overlooking Farthing Downs, first appearing on the 1912 1:2,500 map, when the road was shown as Fanfare Road. Although the nearest house seems newer in style, it too first appears on that map.

The way onto Farthing Downs
Farthing Downs is a fine chalk grassland, owned and managed by the Corporation of London. From the highest parts there are good views northwards towards London, as well as down into the valley to the west followed by the Brighton Road and main railway line. The London LOOP follows the crest of the Downs, parallel to Ditches Lane, before dropping down to reach Coulsdon. This view looks up the hill along Ditches Lane as it heads to the Downs.

The entrance to Farthing Downs
Farthing Downs is a fine chalk grassland, owned and managed by the Corporation of London. From the highest parts there are good views northwards towards London, as well as down into the valley to the west followed by the Brighton Road and main railway line. The London LOOP follows the crest of the Downs, parallel to Ditches Lane, before dropping down to reach Coulsdon. This is the view across the entrance where Ditches Lane leads up onto the Downs. On the other side of the road it drops down into one of the steep-sided valleys which run south from Purley, this one followed by Chaldon Way.
