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. Broader view here: Image

Gipsy Road looking east, the Crystal Palace Transmitter clearly visible in the distance.

Strata, at Elephant and Castle, is the lone tower on the left while right of centre is the familiar profile of the Shard, the Gherkin and the burgeoning cluster of towers between them.

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. The view must encompass every prominent building in the capital from Vauxhall Tower (under construction) in the west to Canary Wharf in the east*. The latter's towers can just be made out on the far right, as can the central cluster in the City. The tower in the foreground is Northwood House on Hamilton Road. *The plaque records the following features: Millbank Tower, London Telecom Tower, Euston Centre, Victoria Tower, St Stephen's Tower, Centre Point, Highgate Ridge, Senate House, London Eye, Shell Centre, St John's Waterloo, Alexandra Palace, St Brides Fleet Street, Strata, St Paul's, St Mary le Bow, Guy's Hospital, Shard, Natwest Tower, Lloyd's of London, Heron Tower, Swiss Re Building, Christ Church Spitalfields, Tower Bridge, St Barnabas, St George in the East, Epping Forest, Dulwich College, Canary Wharf, and the HSBC Building.

This is the easternmost section, showing the cluster of towers at Canary Wharf. I'm fairly sure the prominent block of flats further right is Dawson's Heights at Dulwich (Image]).

Former Laundry Centre, now classrooms of the school on 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.

This road leads from Gipsy Hill towards West Norwood. It passes over the railway between West Norwood and Gipsy Hill.
