Knight's Hill Wood, Knight's Hill
From the car I'd never really registered this patch of green, and even if I had I would not have thought it worthy of being dignified with the name 'wood'. On foot it's a different matter and I'm glad I noticed it because according to a Lambeth Council sign it is a "valuable pocket of woodland" containing exotic trees such as Deodar, Weymouth pine (Image]) and Holm oak. The wood was saved from redevelopment in the 1980s and is all that remains of the grounds of Portobello House, demolished in the 1940s to make way for the Portobello Estate.

Victorian fire hydrant?
This thing stands on the east side of Knight's Hill near the entrance to Tivoli Park. Is it an ancient fire hydrant? The hole at the top is full of rubbish but may have been where a winding handle was inserted. On the side is the outlet and a curious loop below it.

Fire station, Knight's Hill
West Norwood's new fire station opened in November 2014, replacing the previous one on Norwood Road. It cost £5 million and was built on the site of a residential facility owned by a local NHS trust.

Atlas Cedar (Cedrus atlantica), Lakeview Road
A majestic sight, probably a relic of Portobello House, demolished in the 1940s to make way for the Portobello Estate whose blocks now surround the tree on three sides.
Thanks to fellow Geographers Robin Stott and Mick Crawley for identifying the species.

Tivoli Park
Quite a small rectangle of grass, some trees (mostly planes) and a playground, bounded by Dassett Road (N), Tivoli Road (E), Furneaux Avenue (S) and Knight's Hill (W). A Lambeth Council sign records that it was formed from part of the grounds of Holderness House, built in 1839 and demolished in 1919. The Norwood Society has some gossip: apparently it was so ugly that the owner of Portobello House opposite planted a belt of evergreen trees to hide it from his view.
The Crystal Palace television mast soars in the distance.
