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

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.

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.
