One of the manmade knolls, western end of Burgess Park, Camberwell
In a flat part of London these man-made knolls form a large-scale rhythm at the entrance to Burgess Park. They lighten the mood and partly screen the built-up surroundings. In the background is a slab of council offices http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3833155

High-rise Bradenham and low-rise Chartridge, Aylesbury Estate, Walworth, London
The scale of the Aylesbury Estate is breathtaking. I wonder how it feels to live in it and be dwarfed by it. The view is from one of the bulldozer-formed mounds in Burgess Park.

Canal Street, SE5
Canal Street, as its name suggests, once led to a canal. The canal has been filled in, and the streets, houses and industrial buildings which surrounded it have been demolished. Burgess Park, which is a large park, has been created on the site.
Canal Street itself was one of several roads within Burgess Park which had been closed, but not removed. The park is due to receive a major facelift in 2011 and into 2012. This will include removing most of the abandoned roads within the park.
In the background are flats belonging to the Aylesbury Estate, a large council estate built in the 1960s and early 1970s. This estate is starting to undergo a major regeneration programme which will take a number of years to complete.

Autumn in Burgess Park

In the background, scaffolding surrounds a block of flats which formed part of the Aylesbury Estate. The block will soon be demolished.

Aylesbury Estate regeneration
The Aylesbury Estate, built in the 1960s and 1970s, is a large estate of council housing. It is now undergoing regeneration, which will take around 15 years to complete.
The new block nearest the camera is one of the first to be completed, in late 2010. The first residents are due to move in in early 2011. In the background is Bradenham, one of the high-rise blocks, which is eventually likely to be demolished.
