Also near the bus garage is the Turkish Food Centre. Well worth a visit if you like puffy bread and baklava.

I walked over Tower Bridge and sat for a while in Potters Field yesterday, then walked along to London bridge. I noticed the Berkeley Homes building site right by Tower Bridge.It seems that lots of new buildings are rising up changing the view, I think for the better.

Canada Water won't be a handy place for Daily Mail printers for long; the print works will be moving out in a couple of years.
The accident blackspot sign marks the bridge over the old Surrey Canal, which has been filled in since about the 1970s.

When I was but a lad, the 47 went all the way down to the lush countryside of Farnborough, to the old George & Dragon. Now that was a bus ride.

Fantastic - I went to look at the Accident Black Spot photo, and discovered a whole thread of enthusiasts discussing it. I wonder how many other countries in the world you would find a similar situation? Or is this part of what British means? (I also wonder how many teenagers would be at all interested, or will this kind of eccentricity die out?)

Tower Bridge is such a wonderful sight, truly iconic.
Just to answer allotmentqueen, this trait of anorak is not only found in the UK. If you can read a foreign language you can find these sires everywhere. They are totally not unique to the English.
Just another case of the internet showing that we have more in common than we think.

Interesting post. This is the area we are considering to move to on our return to London. Not so sure now, especially being a North Londoner! Not sure I could ever feel at home in the Sahf!

Great writeup, unfortunately I'm very familar with the 47, a route that seems to take a rather convoluted path. Still, there's always the 21 from Lewisham for a more direct route to the City.
Where was the chicken-shop-cum-hair-salon? I MUST look out for thar next time I go down Lewisham Road.

(slightly) off topic but your description of the bus dawdling reminded me that if you haven't read The Maintenance of Headway by Magnus Mills, you really ought.

Nigel: the George at Farnborough is now a block of flats but the Woodman and Change of Horses are still going.

I walk past those stickered flats (Maple Quays) every morning on the way to the station. I rather doubt that many of them are actually sold at all but the lovely estate agents will of course want to create the impression that you must buy now if you don't want to miss out.
