Buildings on the Old Kent Road
A row of shops with flats above. The finely detailed but surprisingly unlisted building on the corner (644 Old Kent Road) is called Royal London Buildings and was originally the home of the Royal London Friendly Society, the flats above being used by its salesmen. (Source: http://carolineld.blogspot.co.uk/2010/03/royal-london-building-old-kent-road.html ). The ground floor is a bookmakers (Ladbrokes, although another photo Image shows that it was formerly called E Coombes).
The tower in the distance is that of Christ Church Image

Christ Church, Old Kent Road
A prominent Anglican church on a busy main road. The church's name is properly that of Camberwell, Christ Church (named for the ancient parish from which its own was taken) but it markets itself as a Peckham church (being the nearer urban centre).
The church is in the Gothic revival style, and was built in 1867 to the designs of architect E. Bassett Keeling. The church was damaged by bombing during the Second World War and was repaired and remodelled in 1958. The dangerous top of the tower was removed in the late 1960s and a new flat roof with parapet walls was provided (information from Southwark diocesan website).
