Post Office Alley
Leading between Thames Road and the riverside walk Strand-on-the-Green, this alley got its name because it actually led to a post office, though where that building was I have been unable to ascertain. The houses at the end look as if they block the path but the one on the left, which dates to 1752, has its first floor built over the path and a low narrow tunnel at ground level allow access through the property to the riverside walk.

Information Board, City Barge, Kew
Originally built as the Navigators Inn, this public house was re-named The City Barge in the 19th century when the state barge of the Lord Mayor of the City of London was moored outside the inn in the winter. The metal door of the Old Bar is needed when the Thames floods.

The City Barge
Located on Strand-on-the-Green this pub resembles a much older building inside than its frontage suggests. In fact, it was badly damaged by a land mine during world war II and was rebuilt taking over the two adjacent plots to the southeast where there had been two Elizabethan houses that were destroyed by the same land mine. The pub provides pleasant riverside views for those sitting outside in the summer although it was a bit chilly on the day that I visited.

Small door at Strand-on-the-Green
When this house along the riverside at Strand-on-the-Green was built, this door would have been at its full height of six and a half to seven feet. When the steps at the front were added as a form of flood defence, the door was not raised so that it is now only about four feet high.
