Houses, Leaf Grove
There are a few pockets of 1920s/1930s houses in this area. (Note how the windows continue round the curve of the bay.) The right hand house of the left pair still has the original metal Crittall windows. In most cases these have been replaced by modern uPVC windows which unfortunately mar the appearance even if the reasons for installing them are understandable.

Cedar Tree on Leigham Court Road
Rather fine deodar (Cedrus deodara), I believe. This was my initial speculation, since endorsed by a correspondent, so I am reasonably confident.

Leigham Court Road (2)
Looking south, opposite St Julian's Close. This is pretty much the reverse of this view: Image The road is named after Leigham Court, a large house which was demolished in 1908. This stretch of the road is within the Leigham Court Road (South) Conservation Area due to its remaining mature trees and general landscaping which mean it has retained “much of its original arcadian character.” Information from Lambeth Council (http://www.lambeth.gov.uk/NR/exeres/CE4B5CE1-0387-40ED-B5A9-273A5160C34A.htm )

325 Leigham Court Road
A pleasant house which shows "signs of influence of the Arts and Crafts movement", for example, the tile-hung central gable. It is within the Leigham Court Road (South) Conservation Area. Leigham Court Road was laid out in 1839, and while development began in the early 1840s, it didn’t really take off until after the building of the Crystal Palace and West End Railway and the opening of Streatham Hill station in 1856. Quite a number of the original, large Victorian houses survive at either end of the road, and even though their grounds have in some cases since been built on, the remaining mature trees and general landscaping have enabled the area to retain “much of its original arcadian character.” Information from Lambeth Council (http://www.lambeth.gov.uk/NR/exeres/CE4B5CE1-0387-40ED-B5A9-273A5160C34A.htm )
