South Oxhey: Garage block off Oxhey Drive
Blocks of garages built for residents in flats and houses with no space for a garage are an often overlooked and in many cases neglected feature of the urban landscape. This block though certainly appears to be well-maintained.

South Oxhey: St Andrew's Road shops
St Andrew's Road is a wide pedestrian precinct containing the main shops in South Oxhey. Since retail units tend to change ownership and use over time, for the record in June 2009, the occupiers were, left to right, Jacksons, nameless, the Gold Centre, Wimpy, Cheapjacks, Taylor Convenience Store, the late lamented Woolworths, and Homecraft.

South Oxhey Central
This construction is part of the South Oxhey Central development. The new apartment block is replacing a parade of shop units, with flats above, that certainly had a tired look but was perhaps on a more appropriate scale for this outer suburban location. Be that as it may, the new housing is being heavily marketed by the developer, Countryside Properties, and a huge representation of how prospective residents' bathrooms might look is displayed on the hoardings outside.

South Oxhey Library
This library on Oxhey Drive must be one of the southernmost outposts of Hertfordshire County Council's Library Service.
Writing about Hertfordshire County Council reminds me that in the 2009 County Council elections the votes cast in the South Oxhey Division were:
British National Party: 783
Labour Party: 756
Conservative Party: 671
Liberal Democrat: 446

South Oxhey: Oxhey Drive
For as far as the eye can see both sides of this straight section of Oxhey Drive are lined with these Fastigiate Hornbeam trees (Carpinus betulus 'Fastigiata').
