Royal Circus
Bath and Edinburgh may have better known examples, but their charms are obvious whereas West Norwood's requires an exercise of the imagination to fully appreciate its (potential) splendour.
Standing on high ground, it should have been the circular hub of a prestigious early Victorian development from which villa-lined roads would radiate, but it flopped and the surrounding houses are routine Victorian and early C20th fare. Behind the wooden fence is Tonge House, originally a "home for ladies", almshouses established by Bertha Portal, the present building also early C20th by the looks of it.

View down Knight's Hill (2)
A number of prominent buildings in central London are visible.
The tower under construction (above the car) is Strata, a block of flats at Elephant Castle (2007-10, by Hamilton's Architects).
Immediately to its left can be seen the dome of St Paul's Cathedral.
To its right can be seen the three Barbican towers - Cromwell, Shakespeare, and Lauderdale (1965-76, Chamberlin, Powell and Bon).
Pity the poor cyclist. He didn't even notice me standing in his way.
