Kingston Vale
Like New York New York it's the name of the road and the area, but in London SW15 rather than Surrey like the rest of Kingston.

Richmond Park: Robin Hood Gate
This gate allows access to the park for pedestrians, cyclists and horse riders, but not for the general public in motor vehicles, at its south eastern corner by the A3. At one time motor traffic was allowed through but southbound traffic was stopped some time ago and from 2003 northbound traffic has been prohibited too.
The black plate on the left side brick pier gives distances in miles and yards to the other gates in the park.

Ramped footbridge over the A3
The footbridge is at the "Robin Hood" junction of the A3 dual carriageway (where it becomes the Kingston Bypass) and the old Kingston Road. Another photograph for this square - Image - is obviously taken from this bridge.

A3 Robin Hood Roundabout
It's a roundabout, Jim, but not as we know it..., since you can't drive round it, at least not since 1995 can you have done. Actually this is now just the junction between the A3 and the A308 Kingston Vale. In the photo, which was taken from the footbridge, the southbound A3 is on the right, the queuing traffic is waiting to turn south westwards on the A308 to the lower left and the northbound A3 is on the upper left. The roundabout marks the start of the Kingston Bypass, opened in 1927. Formerly the A3 followed the current route of the A308 through Kingston upon Thames.
Plans are afoot to improve access for equestrian users between Richmond Park to the left and the tracks to Wimbledon Common on the right. Apparently at present they have to rely on the courtesy of drivers on the A3 to let them pass...! The Robin Hood Gate entrance to Richmond Park is in front of the white house by the red truck trailer.
For aficionados of such things a sewer vent pipe, grey with a yellow top, forms the centrepiece of the roundabout. It is surrounded by a motley collection of utilities' cabinets.
