Enfield South is likely to be an interesting spot to revisit over the nex decade as Meridian Water takes shape. It’s indeed a bleak spot at present but starting to show signs of life.
I recommend the cafe at Bloqs, close to the bus depot and a workspace for small creative businesses. The cafe is open to the public and a pleasant refuge within the sub-Ballardian landscape.

This is a bit of a barrel-scraper. Once,some Mayoral candidate pledged to visit every ‘High Street’ in London. I don’t know if they actually did. You might try that.

I expect it's an artefact of the scale of the map, or the earth's curvature, or something, but the map at the start of your post appears to show Bromley extending further south than Croydon.

The Enfield South location certainly has aspirations to be the borough's tip.

Hillingdon: You struck gold there. The Hayes-Northolt section of the Paddington Arm is the nicest, in my opinion.
Remarkably, for once I have unknowingly already been to three of the four points, and according to the schedule for my latest walking project, should pass Croydon North's point at the end of the year!

Please don't visit all the High Streets in London.
That'd take years.
At least this 'barrel-scraping' was over in a day.

I'd love an update from you on Meridian Water any time you walk that way.

Prior to 1965 the area where the Lambeth sign now is was the beginning of the Borough of Wandsworth, on both sides of the road. To the left then, as now, it's Lambeth to the north and Croydon to the north.
It's one of the few London roads where street lighting historically differs on each side of the road from here the whole way to Crystal Palace, usually there's an agreement that one council on a boundary will maintain both sides. I suspect this might date from the days when Croydon was in Surrey and this road formed a county boundary.
