Greenwich Gallery, Peyton Place
According to the "Greenwich Phantom" blogger, this building dates from 1830 and was previously a mortuary, then a school dining room, and now a private art gallery. At the time of my visit it was hosting an exhibition of black-and-white photographs of London life.

Route of old railway (1)
Looking roughly north from Circus Street, beyond the gates is the route of the branch railway line from Lewisham to Greenwich Park, opened in 1888 and closed in 1917. Surprisingly this section has never been built on, and someone who was with me and pointed it out recalled the rails being in place as recently as the 1960s.

Route of former Greenwich Park railway
The railway branch line from Nunhead to Greenwich park was closed in 1917 and never reopened this side of Lewisham. For a fuller history see http://www.disused-stations.org.uk/g/greenwich_park/ . This short stretch (40m) between Circus Street and Royal Hill is one of the few sections that has not yet been built on, although as of 2013 there was a planning application to do so.

Shops on Royal Hill
As of 2012 this row of shops on the corner of Circus Street included a specialist cheese shop and a butcher. The second building form the left (to the right of the cheese shop) is a grade 2 listed, and on the 2014 Heritage At Risk register, where it is described as an "Early C18 small urban house of central chimneystack plan, the smallest known example of the 1703 Moxon Plan. The building has been vacant for some years and in poor condition. A scheme for restoration and conversion has been agreed but not yet implemented."

Greenwich Borough Hall
The former town hall, now used by a college Image and various other organisations. On a Sunday it appears to be used by a Christian denomination for worship; they were just coming out as I passed. The building is grade 2 listed (list entry number 1213855).
