Upper Richmond Road West, SW14
This stretch of the road runs pretty much east-west. Less than a fortnight before the autumnal equinox the sun sets just a few degrees north of due west, lighting up the whole street on a near-cloudless evening.

Folly house in Fitzgerald Avenue, Mortlake
Surely one of the oddest small buildings in London, put together from re-cycled bits and pieces which might have been found at some architectural jumble sale. I've known it for many years, and wish I'd taken photographs before the present high wall was built, as this conceals much of the ground floor from the street.

House in Fitzgerald Avenue, Mortlake
No. 1A Fitzgerald Avenue has an entry in the book Nairn's London by Ian Nairn where it is described as "a wonderful toy fort made up of genuine bits and genuine fantasy". He mentions the huge Wren-style door dated 1696, as well as the columns and battlements. It certainly seems to sit rather oddly here in suburbia.

Fitzgerald Avenue, Mortlake
The privet hedge - with its arch over a gateway - is a feature which would have attracted little notice in these suburban streets half a century ago. Given the present-day emphasis on 'low maintenance' - and with many front gardens converted to parking spaces - it seemed worth recording for Geograph.
