Kingswood House, Bowen Drive
By H.V. Lanchester, 1892, for L.J. Johnstone, the founder of Bovril. Built to loosely resemble a castle, it is rather plain and the stone used is not very attractive. Grade II listed.
The house is now used as a community centre for the modern housing estate which surrounds it.

Play area southwest of Kingswood House, Kingswood Estate, East Dulwich
There are several children's playspaces on the estate, catering for different age groups. They make a striking contrast with grade II listed Kingswood House which nevertheless retains its spacious setting. Some of the many mature trees on the estate are playing their part here. https://www.southwark.gov.uk/events-culture-and-heritage/explore-culture-in-southwark/heritage-and-local-history/historic-southwark/kingswood-house?chapter=2

Green space enclosed by Telfer House and Markham House, Kingswood Estate
Telfer House is on the left, Markham House on the right. The angled layout of the blocks forms a semi-enclosed space whose focal point is a group of mature trees. The 1950s estate retained some of the grand old oaks that studded the grounds of Kingswood House. They create a noble and notable setting that is in scale with the blocks of flats. The map of 1958-73 shows a number of individual large trees, though fewer than the map of 1916. https://www.southwark.gov.uk/events-culture-and-heritage/explore-culture-in-southwark/heritage-and-local-history/historic-southwark/kingswood-house?chapter=2
