The South Circular Road, at Lee, SE12: St Mildred's Road
This stretch of the South Circular will be familiar to many people who (like myself) know little or nothing of the rest of the grid-square. The view is eastward, with the roof of St Mildred's Church visible in the distance. The plane trees gleam in the February sunshine.
Unlike the North Circular, which was largely purpose-built, engineering the South Circular amounted to little more than putting up signs to indicate the route - along existing roads. To road enthusiasts the South Circular is a bad joke - but the rest of us are probably grateful that swathes were not cut through South London's older local centres (Putney, say, or Battersea Rise). The price to be paid remains the presence of heavy through traffic in residential and shopping streets.

Interior of St Mildred's church, Lee
The inside of the church had been reordered several years ago. See
Image for an external photo of the building. The odd colouring is dues to a mixture of strong sunlight and fluorescent artificial lighting - not possible to set a suitable white balance.

East end of St Mildred's church, Lee
The east end of the church is pentagonal, rather than semi-circular in shape. Polycarbonate sheeting had been put over the windows some years earlier in response to a vandalism problem. See
Image for a context photo of the whole building.
