Name panel in bespoke tiles, Tenterden House, Kinglake Estate, Walworth
This style of name panel is also seen on similar blocks in Camberwell

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.

Kinglake Street, Kinglake Estate, Walworth
On the left in shadow is part of Southborough House. Beyond it, with stair towers and rubbish chutes facing the street, is Bethesden House. On the right Keston House is almost hidden; beyond it is Amery House. Slight differences in the design of these monumental blocks of flats suggest that Amery House was the first to be built.
