Former Gipsy Tavern, Gipsy Road
The food lies rotting, the sports go unwatched and the garden is a wilderness. This particular pub may not have been much of a loss (I don't know, I never visited it), but there is something melancholic about every entry in the increasingly long catalogue of extinct pubs. I think this one went some time in 2011.

View from Norwood Park (2)
The park must offer one of the best panoramas in London. A plaque, sponsored by Network Rail and renewed in 2011 to commemorate the park's centenary, records that in 1986 the Greater London Council designated this a Protected Panoramic View. Vauxhall Tower (under construction) can just be made out above the trees. Other prominent landmarks vaguely discernible further right are Millbank Tower, London Telecom Tower (roughly central), Centre Point, London Eye, and the Shell Centre.

Garrett monument, West Norwood Cemetery
The wooden Gothic monument of John Garrett (d.1881) is, as Pevsner remarks, a "curiosity". Grade II listed.
West Norwood Cemetery is one of the “Magnificent Seven” cemeteries founded in the early C19th to deal with the expanding population of London. It was laid out by Sir William Tite and opened in 1837. It has 65 Grade II and Grade II* listed monuments.

An interesting mix - an urn (Lindow), an obelisk (Simpson) and a more conventional stele (Paddle).
