View from Hall Lane and the London LOOP
The London LOOP follows Hall lane between River Drive and the A127 and beyond. If you dodge the traffic there are fine views westwards as here across the valley of the Ingrebourne River to the prominent feature of the white water tower at Havering-atte-Bower. The LOOP passes just behind the water tower.

Outbuildings at Upminster Court
Upminster Court was built in 1905. This looks like a coach house, or possibly by 1905 a garage even?
The figure lurking by the wall on the left is a replica Chinese terra cotta warrior. There are several of these in the grounds.

London Transport RLH65 in Upminster
At the Avon Road terminus of service 248.
This was a short local service within Upminster. The RLH type was used by London Transport where low bridges meant that the standard RT bus could not be used, and only 24 of them ran in the central (red buses) area. The last of them ran in 1971.

Upminster Court
Built in 1905 for a wealthy businessman, the court ceased being a private residence in 1939.
Since then it has had a varied career as refugee centre, care home, agricultural college etc. Part of the grounds became a golf course.
Currently in business use. http://www.upminster.com/history/places/upminster-court.htm

London Loop avoids Hall Lane
For all it's marked as just a yellow road on the map, Hall Lane is a busy local link road and isn't all that pleasant to walk by. So on another of its unavoidable roadside sections it's good that for some of the way the LOOP can go along this parallel service road which is a bit quieter.

Path used by the London Loop
A slightly damp part of the path from Emerson Park to River Drive, Upminster. In the winter probably quite soggy, this lies between the Ingrebourne footbridge and a parallel side ditch.
