Camberwell Station Road, LONDON, SE5 9JN

David Kemp, Editor of the London Bus Review, writes (March 2016): Camberwell is a garage from which the Go-Ahead subsidiary London Central operates contracts awarded to it by Transport for London (TfL). Its official address is Warner Road and it stands on the corner of Warner Road and Camberwell New Road. More info at Image

Camberwell was once a station on the City branch of the London Chatham & Dover Railway whose line still runs into London (Blackfriars) and beyond. Camberwell opened in 1862 but closed to passengers in 1916 as a wartime economy. By that time much of its traffic had been syphoned off by competing tramways and it did not reopen.

A number of vintage buses were assembled in the parking area of Camberwell bus garage on the occasion of its 2015 Open Day. On the right is NS 1995 a London General (LGOC) AEC double-decker with bodywork built by the LGOC itself. The bus entered service in 1927 and was withdrawn ten years later. Standing next to it is STL 449, another AEC double-decker. Although only seven years younger than the NS, it has the look of a recognisably modern bus. It lasted in London from 1934 to 1954 and carries London Transport's post-War mainly red livery.

This is the garage's main entry and exit point. Buses can enter and leave via Camberwell Station Road which lies to the left of the picture. Another such point is at its north-eastern end which fronts Camberwell New Road Image This part of the garage was added several decades after its opening in 1914. The picture was taken on the garage Open Day which celebrated the first century of its existence.

Taken at the newer south-western end of the garage looking north-east towards its older parts.

On Warner Road.

This closed and converted pub is on the junction of Warner Road (on the left) and Lowth Road (on the right). Was still a pub in 2006. With a nice pub sign. See http://www.flickr.com/photos/markdodds/97556313/. Now flats.

There are many variants of this type of church in the area. This looks as though it was once a pub.
