Surfaces, playspace, Kingswood Estate, East Dulwich
While grass is not a bad surface for a small child to fall on, it gets worn to stones and mud, as here. Rubber crumb surfacing is now very widely used beneath play equipment. Although expensive, it's colourful, free-draining and slightly bouncy on impact and underfoot. In the foreground is a clean and simple brick edging to a tarmac path. Not just for looks, it prevents the tarmac from spreading and cracking.

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
