I spent the first year of my life in Anerley, apparently, although I remember nothing of it. Look forward to reading about it tomorrow.

'Brunch kitchen'? It gets worse. What time does it close?
Happy New Year. |

Fox Hill is the boundary between today's Croydon and Bromley. The chunk of SE 19 from there eastward to the railway station is all part of the old Penge & Anerley UDC, Kent.

I used to enjoy the Crystal Palace dinosaurs in the 1970s/80s when they were still brightly painted. The restoration about 10 years ago reduced them to bare grey concrete, but things are improving again.
I'm looking forward to your visit to one of my old stamping grounds, West Wimbledon / Raynes Park. |

Most people probably see 2019 as not an especially exciting number.
Not DG!! |

Orchard Grove (the cul-de-sac up the middle) could be a really infuriating place to live, especially in the north-west corner. Although surrounded by the station, it seems to be a walk of about 650 metres to get to the station entrance.

Well, Anerley Road may cross from SE19 into SE20 as it straddles over the railway, but the London Borough of Bromley sadly fails to indicate this on its demure street signs, notwithstanding the London County Council regulation of 1952 (apparently applied to the whole of Greater London by the London Government Act 1963): “The appropriate postal district shall be indicated in the nameplate in signal red.”

Thank you for that reference, dg. I always wondered why our horse-drawn dustcarts came all the way from Battersea...

Interesting. I have before wondered why London seems to be the only area that displays the (partial) postcode on street signs, as I've not seen it done elsewhere. |
