"Westfield is their day out", how incredibly sad. What happened to the outside world to make it so lack lustre. Maybe at my age I am stuck in a post retirement remembrance of the 1960's, exploring my surroundings on a 3 speed sturmey archer bicycle. #feelingancient
Well at least they went out, with their parents, and a picnic. You don't know how far they'd come, might never have been on a train before, could have been an adventure for them. Let's hope so.
But otherwise, yes.
Wow, Fairbridge Road, I used to live there til fairly recently. Lived in a flat owned by a large tax-dodging property empire who owned (and still probably do) a number of properties along the street including a number of tiny bedsits which didn't officially exist and weren't declared.

On a more positive note, the monthly Play Street is a really nice addition to the street which is not only popular with families in the surrounding streets but also other residents who've got to know their neighbours better. Glad to see you picked up on the planting too that the group who organise the Play Street are involved with.
Saxby Lane is SW2, but surely Brixton Hill rather than Streatham Hill. I have lived in SW2 and SW16 all my life and regard the South Circular as the dividing line between Streatham and Brixton. What do the local residents think? (It is also close to SW12 Clapham Park).
Once again a fascinating cross-section of London.
I hope you do the NE, NW, SE & SW compass points as well.
Seconding the request for an ordinal series!
Fascinating as ever. Poor thing, having to go through Westfield so soon after the last time.

Saxby Close - It's one of those places that's definitely here and definitely there: Brixton Hill (ward) and Clapham Park (eponymous Project & Neighbourhood Forum). The nearest station happens to be Streatham Hill.
The thing that gets me about Westfield is that the walkways seem much wider than the depth of the shops - almost as if they expect hordes of people to wander round, but few actual shoppers.
That's what makes Westfield nice to walk around, there's a real feeling of space you don't get in other shopping malls around London
"I worry that Tory Burch might be a political faction's HQ, but instead ..."
made me laugh out loud at the end of a tiring day - thanks!
Another feature along Narrow Street is the Mosaic Building, which is where an Italian restaurant called La Figa (once described by Steven Berkoff as his favourite London restaurant) is located.
[After having an Italian girlfriend who explained that the word has another meaning, besides fig, it seemed an, er, 'unusual' choice of name for a restaurant]
