Bromley Hall, Blackwall Tunnel Approach Road
A surprising find, now incongruously looking out over a busy dual carriageway. From the exterior it looks c1700, but recent investigation has unearthed evidence which suggests that this building was once part of a Tudor manor house. Grade II* listed.
Behind and to the right can be seen the tops of offices, complete with portholes, fashioned out of red containers.

Former fire station, Gillender Street
A fine example of the former London County Council's Arts-and-Craft style fire stations, dating from 1909-11. It definitely has that air of domesticity for which the style was always striving - if you ignore the ground floor, you'd think this is a block of flats. The architect may have been W.E. Brooks. Grade II listed.
It is now artists' studios.
