Dulwich: 31 Champion Hill
This very large detached house would have been built for occupancy by one family, probably with 2-3 servants, whose rooms would have been on the top floor. It is most probably multi-occupied now, although there are no obvious signs of this, and it remains in almost original external condition.

The Platanes
That is the name (meaning plane trees), which appears on a gatepost, given to the mansion in 1882 when it was built for George Egmont Bieber, a City merchant. The next owner, Herman Kleinwort, gave the mansion to King’s College Hospital in 1910. Shortly afterwards it became a Hall of Residence http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-507126-the-platanes-now-king-s-college-hall-cam .

Junction of Dylways with Blanchedowne, Denmark Hill Estate, Camberwell, London
Camberwell Borough built the estate in 1950; it provided 682 homes. The unusual streetnames may remember the large houses on Denmark Hill that were demolished to make way for the estate.

Birdsall House and Holderness House, Champion Hill Estate, Camberwell, London
Leconfield House, the most distant, shows in part. In the 1870s there were huge houses along Champion Hill, behind the camera and to the right, with long gardens stretching downhill. The mature trees are a legacy from that time. By 1896 the largest house had gone. The open hillside sloped down to cricket, lawn tennis and athletics grounds. It may be that King's College Hospital had a hand in all this. The Champion Hill Estate, presumably built by London County Council, first appears on a map of 1954-1960 and is still there after about 60 years.
