Parched grass in General Gordon Square
The steep artificial mounds presumably do not retain any moisture and provide a harsh summer environment for the grass in this new urban square.

Remodelled junction
As part of the remodelling of General Gordon Square in 2010/11, the clockwise one-way system around it was revised so that the northern side was pedestrianised and through traffic routed round the east and south sides. This junction at the south-east corner of the square was turned from a mini-roundabout into a traffic-light controlled junction.

The Society's headquarters is now in Bexleyheath, but it retains a branch facility at the building. The upper floors are mainly unused now but are fitted out as a disaster recovery centre.
