34-39 Braybrooke Gardens, behind the camera, is a block of flats within the Vixen Grove estate: the numbering of these houses jumps from 33 to the left of the shot to 40 on the right.

Fox Hill is one of several long seriously steep roads down from the Crystal Palace triangle. A sign warns of a 20% gradient and urges "Low gear now": Image . Lansdowne Place and Tudor Road join from the left; the junction with Church Road is behind the camera. The evergreen oaks signal that the area might have been developed in the broad Regency period: late 18th century up to Victoria's accession 1837.

Four blocks of flats make up the Vixen Grove estate: a small estate owned by its residents, comprising Jenson Way, Hetley Gardens and numbers 34-39 Braybrooke Gardens. This is the lower of two car parks on the estate, with 1-18 Jenson Way to the right and 19-27 Jenson Way on the left. The majority of the estate is two-bedroom flats or maisonettes, with 1-18 Jenson Way the only block made up of one-bedroom flats. (At the time of the photograph, over half of the latter block was no longer owner-occupied: some owners moved away and rented their flats out rather than selling, but for some these flats had become buy-to-let investments.)

A strikingly-coloured mid-C19th Gothic villa, one of a symmetrical pair (the other is more sedate) which look as if they were once lodges to a grand house. Church Road has a number of good suburban villas dating from around this time, many of which have been converted to multiple occupancy or institutional use, and most of its buildings are within a Conservation Area.
