The Michael Tippett School was both the first Building Schools for the Future (BSF) school in London and the first Special Education Needs school to be built under the BSF programme. The school moved into this new building in Heron Road SE24 in February 2008. It provides 80 pupil places for students aged 11 to 18 who have profound and multiple special educational needs. The building was designed by London Eye architects, Marks Barfield, and built by Apollo Education. The photo is taken from the junction between Heron Road (on the left) and Milkwood Road.

The facilities and features of the park include: children's playground, 5-a-side football pitch, basketball court, quiet area, trim trail, wildlife areas, and amphitheatre. Since 2003, over £500,000 has been invested to date to enable the park to offer local people of all ages and interests with a wide range of facilities for play, sport and social relaxation. In 2006 the park became Lambeth's first Green Flag Award site.

The eyewitnesstohistory.com website states: “All over the world on November 11, 1918, people were celebrating, dancing in the streets, drinking champagne, hailing the armistice that meant the end of the war. But at the front there was no celebration.”

Located on the junction of Heron Road (on the right) and Lowden Road. The building is a late Victorian hall (built about 1880) of traditional brick construction under a pitched slate roof. Although never consecrated, the building was used for worship until 1981, and was originally known as Camberwell St John's Mission. It was able to seat 300 people. The hall was used as a Community Centre from 1990. More recently it has been occupied by a children's nursery. The hall is currently for sale, and is likely to be improved and converted for community use.

The church stands on the junction with Lowden Road. The building was erected in 1905 and is a simple stock brick building with open pedimented east and west gables and a slate roof. A five-bay round-arched arcade built on the north side was intended to lead to an aisle but this extension has never been made. The architect was probably F. W. Tasker.
