Boundary marker, Lansdowne Place, Upper Norwood
This little road running diagonally away from the Norwood triangle carries the boundary between the London Boroughs of Bromley and Croydon (previously between the counties of Kent and Surrey respectively). Unusually, the boundary runs not down the middle of the road, but along the property frontages on the north side of the road. The metal boundary post shown here carries the writing "Battersea 1854": at this time the land on the Kent side of the boundary (in this photograph, the building), later the Urban District of Penge, was a detached portion of the parish of Battersea, whilst that in which the photographer is standing was part of the parish of Croydon.

Kendall Court flats, on the west side of Tudor Road, Upper Norwood, south London
They first appear on a map of 1983-93. The site was mainly of a works that had expanded into a street of Victorian semi-detached villas. The bold concrete elements recall Basil Spence's University of Sussex.

Almshouses in Belvedere Road, SE19
I'll admit that at the time of taking the photograph it didn't occur to me that the dwellings in the long low terrace might be almshouses - I learnt that later, from the Listing: http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-358338-11-25-belvedere-road-se-19-greater-londo
The listing suggests a date of about 1850, which (without knowing the detailed history of the area) is later than I might have guessed. I noticed the 'label moulds' - little hoods (with drop-ends) - over the first-floor windows. That seemed to me a 'Gothick' feature - more typical of the Gothic revival of the early decades of the 19th century. The design of the ground-floor windows (sorry, hidden behind the hedge) confirms the Gothick impression.
But - for whatever reason - the design of almshouses often lagged generations behind mainstream fashion. So perhaps 1850 is as likely a date as any.
Label moulds can be seen more clearly in my photo of the Langland almshouses in Henley - known to date from 1830: http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3066061
