Neighbourhood shop, corner of Alvey Street and Surrey Grove, Walworth
On the corner of Alvey Street and Surrey Grove, Grove Food & Wine appears a thriving business. Before World War II Alvey Street showed on maps as an artery to and from central London. Now it and Surrey Grove are stubs on the edge of the Aylesbury Estate. Two of the blocks in the Wolverton group are on the left.

Surrey Square Park sign near Kinglake Street entrance, Walworth
A plan with little context. The entrance shown in Image is below the P of Park. The title of the plan is where Kinglake Street is. The long part of Surrey Grove is the car access and parking behind Southborough House flats. The white rectangle, top right corner of the plan, is the shop in Alvey Street Image

10-storey Wendover flats facing Thurlow Street, Aylesbury Estate, Walworth, London
This block is about 250m long. Behind the camera is the southernmost of the Wendover slabs, the highest at 14 storeys: see Julian Osley's Image The Aylesbury Estate is magnificent cityscape on a vast scale but in detail is not appealing. Nevertheless for thousands of families it is home.

Entry to Surrey Square Park from Kinglake Street, Walworth
This small park has something for everyone. It first appears on an OS map of 1995. There was a group of old terrace houses here before. The view is between two blocks of the Kinglake Estate: Tenterden House on the left and Southborough House on the right. Beyond the van is one of the blocks in the Wolverton series on the Aylesbury Estate.

Name panel in bespoke tiles, Tenterden House, Kinglake Estate, Walworth
This style of name panel is also seen on similar blocks in Camberwell Image The generally more refined design of Tenterden House suggests that it was built later than the rest on Kinglake, or was by the same architect.

Wendover House, Thurlow Street
The Aylesbury Estate's largest 'barrier' block. Pevsner reports that, according to the Guinness Book of Records, it is "the longest block in Europe built to an industrialised system".
Catch it while you can - it is due to be pulled down, a process which is likely to increase its resemblance to the town in Buckinghamshire.
