Hitherfield Road, Streatham
Hitherfield Road is quite steep. At the foot of the hill is Leigham Vale and the railway between Streatham and Tulse Hill. Beyond, the other side of the valley slopes up again. The valley is followed by an underground stream which is a tributary of the River Effra.

Leigham Vale railway bridges, near Tulse Hill
Two railway bridges crossing Leigham Vale in South London. The space beneath the bridges is quite narrow, therefore the pavement is only on one side of the road here.

Railway bridges in Leigham Vale
The nearer bridge carries the line from Streatham Hill to Tulse Hill, this short spur being opened in 1868 when Tulse Hill station was opened. The further bridge carries the line from Streatham Hill to West Norwood which opened in 1856. Just to the left, but out of sight, is the line from Streatham to Tulse Hill which also dates from 1868.
Southern trains operate over the bridges while First Capital Connect trains to Luton and St Albans (and two in the evening peak to Bedford) and Southern trains can be seen on the line which runs alongside Leigham Vale.

View down Knight's Hill (2)
A number of prominent buildings in central London are visible.
The tower under construction (above the car) is Strata, a block of flats at Elephant Castle (2007-10, by Hamilton's Architects).
Immediately to its left can be seen the dome of St Paul's Cathedral.
To its right can be seen the three Barbican towers - Cromwell, Shakespeare, and Lauderdale (1965-76, Chamberlin, Powell and Bon).
Pity the poor cyclist. He didn't even notice me standing in his way.
