Cherry Orchard, Charlton
The name strictly only applies to the short street in this view with one housing block each side, but is used locally for the whole of the estate to which it gives access. The estate was formerly run by Greenwich Council but now by the Charlton Triangle housing association.

London Marathon 2014: running in step
It must just be something subconscious that made a large number of individuals run in step, as there is no requirement to do so, and no music to run along to.

The 'elite' runners go a different way: these are the front runners of the tens of thousands of ordinary people running the Marathon, at about 2km into the race.

London Marathon 2014: pacing flag
Every so often among the crowd of runners there was a pacer carrying a flag showing the time that it would take to complete the course at that speed. These runners were at the "9 minute mile" pace, and would complete in just under four hours if they did not slow down.

No post today
I photographed this "GR" postbox on Charlton Road on Christmas Day, which explains the lack of traffic on what is normally a busy main road, as well as no postal collection of course.

Bus stop and phone on Charlton Road
The bus stop here serves routes 53 to Whitehall; 54 to Elmers End; 422 to North Greenwich. A 422 is seen heading the other way to Bexleyheath. Beyond that the Pelican crossing at the top of Victoria Way is flashing amber.
The phone box is of a recent design that allows customers to send e-mails and texts (although I have not seen anyone use it for that purpose).

Caution (children playing)
This is a non-standard roadsign. It probably dates from when the nearby Cherry Orchard estate was built (I have yet to find a date for it but probably 1960s). The red of the child and the warning triangle have faded to the point of being almost invisible to passing motorists.
