The Myatts Fields Estate is a council estate in the London Borough of Lambeth. It is divided into Myatts North and Myatts South. This view shows the entrance into Myatts North, from Akerman Road.

Ackerman Road leads from Loughborough Road towards Lothian Road. Apparently known locally as the 'Camberwell Submarine' (for obvious reasons!) It is a vent shaft for a subterranean boiler room. The high pressure gas boilers are used to heat two council estates nearby. See http://www.urban75.org/london/camberwell-submarine.html for amazing images inside it.

Akerman Road passes through the Myatts Fields housing estate. The estate was built with a communal heating system. This structure in the centre of the road comprises air ventilation shafts and access to the boiler room. Visible in the centre of the image, to the left of the ventilation shaft, is the top of a tower block on Brandon Estate (see Image), while further in the distance behind it, the three circles are at the top of the Strata tower, a newly-built tower block at Elephant & Castle (see Image).

St Gabriel's College was built in 1900 as a training college for women teachers and soon became a seminary for Anglican priests. A chapel was added and consecrated in 1903. From the beginning of the First World War in August 1914, the male students having enlisted, the College became home to the First London General Hospital. It dealt with casualties of the war, closing in 1919. After the war, and certainly during the 1930s it resumed life as a teacher training college for women. It was converted into flats in the mid-1990s.
