IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Brangton Road, LONDON, SE11 5PY

Taken whilst attending a London Photo Walk, this is a view of southeast London from the viewing gallery of Altitude 360 on the top floor of the Millbank Tower looking southeast.

These two blocks, perhaps influenced by Le Corbusier, are Duffell and Waylett Houses. My thanks to Edmund Bird who tells me that the estate was built in 1964-65 to the designs of Howes & Jackman for the London County Council.

Symmetrical features of this 1970s tower block in Vauxhall.

An early-C20th Duchy of Cornwall estate. These pretty stock-brick cottages were built in 1913 by Adshead & Ramsay. Grade II listed. The road is aligned with the portico of Imperial Court (Image]).

Owned by the Duchy of Cornwall, Courtenay Square looks as if it ought to be older than 1913 when it was actually built in the style of much of the surrounding early 19th century streets of Kennington. Ian Nairn says of Courtenay Square "This is the best Georgian square in London. It is neither here nor there that it was built just before the First World War for the Duchy of Cornwall, and that the delicate classical ornaments are cast in concrete and can be seen to be. An astonishing throwback has produced this dolls' forum, apparently fragile compared with the robust streets around, yet tough and compact. Alone among London squares, it has really accepted what is meant by a formal space: all the detail is directed towards the whole space, and the centre is not a lawn or a folly of flower-beds, but regular trees on gravel.." He then compares it somewhat unfavourably with the genuinely Georgian Cleaver Square nearby - see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2706489
