Bromley: The former church of St Michael and All Angels
The building dates from 1867 and was a church within the parish of St Leonard Bromley, being built on the east side of St Leonard's Road. It survived the Blitz but was closed in 1975, and has since been converted into residential use. It is now known as St Michael Court.

Former St Michael and All Angels and Vicarage, St Leonard's Road
Gothic church with polychromatic brick, large circular, traceried window, and tower with pyramidal roof. By R.W. Morris, 1864-65. Grade II listed.
Facing it is the former vicarage with a pair of symmetrical gables.
All this is 'former' because it has been converted into flats, a fact to warm the cockles of any atheist's heart.

Bromley: Former St Leonard's public house
This is another former Victorian public house that survived the Blitz but presumably succumbed to the fall-off in trade when all the surrounding houses were demolished after the war. It is on St Leonard's Road immediately to the south of
Image, and opposite
Image The attached house on the right appears to be an unsympathetic later addition.

Bromley: St Leonard's Road
This image demonstrates the contrast between one of the few surviving blocks of the original Victorian housing in Poplar, and modern-day architects' attempts to replicate the style, meet the demands of the planning department of the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, and to provide houses suitable for modern living.
The newer houses have the same design of archways, sash windows, and window lintels, while the roof parapet line has been retained at the same height, but note how the high ceilings in the rooms in the older houses must have been shortened in the newer properties as evidenced by the lower first floor windows, while partially hidden away behind the parapet of the newer houses are dormer windows indicating how the lower first floor has enabled the addition of a second floor in them.
The old houses on the left are certainly shown on the Ordnance Survey map edition of 1869.
