Catherine Grove
View across the small public garden in Catherine Grove: straight ahead is Charter Buildings, the former Blackheath Road Higher Elementary School built in 1904 and now converted into flats, and on the far right is the Hilton Doubletree hotel, formerly Maurice Drummond House a police sector House built in 1946.
The garden, responsibility for whose maintenance is not clear (the Royal Borough of Greenwich do not list it in their directory), is in a poor state and is rarely mowed or otherwise cared for. That said, local residents do tend one of the flower beds and occasionally prune the shrubs.
Layers of London provides a full description of the street https://www.layersoflondon.org/map?l=eyJmcmVlX3RleHRfcXVlcnkiOm51bGwsInNlYXJjaF9wYWdlIjoxLCJjYXRlZ29yeV9hbmRfdGVybV9maWx0ZXJzIjp7InRlcm1faWQiOm51bGwsImNhdGVnb3J5X2lkIjoxfSwiYWN0aXZlX2xheWVyX2dyb3VwX2lkcyI6W119&m=eyJjZW50ZXIiOls1MS41MDc0LDAuMTI3OF0sInpvb20iOjEwLCJsaWdodHNPdXQiOmZhbHNlfQ%3D%3D&record=11760

Royal Kent Dispensary, Greenwich High Road
Despite the 1783 date, this building is actually mid-19th century according to the list description (grade 2, List Entry Number 1078995). It was later part of the Miller General Hospital until 1974, then a children's home, and finally converted to housing. Source: page on the Ashburnham Triangle Association website (later removed)

Cycle shortcut
A short cycle lane on the pavement cuts off a few metres for cyclists turning left from Guildford Grove into Egerton Drive. It seems a bit pointless.
