St Mary's Gardens. Lambeth
St Mary's Gardens were once part of the Walcot estate but the charity only owns a few of the houses now as they sold some off in the 1980's and 90's.

Former Lambeth Hospital, Brook Drive
In fact built as the central block of Lambeth Workhouse in 1870-71. Given its function, a surprisingly flamboyant affair of yellow stock brick with red brick, stone and terracotta dressings. Grade II listed.
Much of the workhouse has since gone, what remained was subsumed into Lambeth Infirmary, and is now being converted into flats.

Covered washing line
I am unsure whether the building shown here - with washing hung beneath its roof - is part of the original workhouse/hospital - see
Image - or part of the new development but using period architectural ironwork.

Ice Age Tree Trail No. 28 - Box (Buxus sempervirens)
The Ice Age Tree Trail in Geraldine Mary Harmsworth Park has specimens of trees native to Britain. Box was the 28th tree to have colonised Britain, arriving about 8000 years ago. It is heavier than water and twice as hard as oak. Unlike other timber, it is sold by weight rather than size. It is long lived and slow growing, hence the small size of this specimen. It reaches a maximum height of 9 metres.
