I have seen this window literally 10 billion times

Feeling so #meh. Typically this view of a dilapidated shed with garbage & an overgrown lane would fill me with #aesthetic pleasure, but I just can't get into it. Oh well, after 2 years on this project, down deep in #Lambeth suburbia, you just kinda have to keep plodding along & hope joy returns.

This was inevitable but I wish they had taken more care with the spelling

Pendennis Road sign has been vandalized but they missed an 'n'.

More great #Streatham signage and kitties ....

Sanitarian is a job you don't hear about so much these days.

#GoogleStreetView #London #BoroughOfLambeth #Streatham
Over a contemporary restaurant sign, carved into the stone in a font I'm having a hard time identifying with any specific era, but maybe 1940s? "Decorators Builders Sanitarians" and a x-patterned design above.

A series of shops on Streatham High Road lit by a watery bright light. On a blue door covering the Talash Sewing Centre, someone has spray painted Holy holy holy is the Lord of Hosts Issiah 6

Kitty terraces in #Streatham

#GoogleStreetView #London #BoroughOfLambeth #cats #architecture #tudor
Terraces houses that have small double gables and third floor centre windows that make them look like cats. I have added line drawings to emphasize this.

More great #garden #decor in #Norwood, #London. This one, a #lion that looks kinda like #ChristianBale.
A large gold bas-relief lion over a garage, terraces and shrubbery in the background.

I think this is a piano? So charmingly gothic.

On the side of corner stucco terrace, a weather, gothic looking brown piano surrounded by greenery and vines. On the side of corner stucco terrace, a weather, gothic looking brown piano surrounded by greenery and vines - close up.

Catching a #mural in progress! What a treat!

Wish I could identify the artist but this being Kinfauns Street, most Google references are to George Harrison's former house.

#londonstreetart #art #Brixton #Streatham #london #southlondon #artist
A beautiful mural in progress with a big moon and large, almost alien mushrooms, ferns and other plants growing against a dark background - the left side of the mural is only sketched out. A young man stands in front of the moon, looking down at his paint brushes - there are paint containers all over the sidewalk.

So, #Halloween decorations show up on #London's Streetviews more than you would think, but I never remember to capture any good shots to save for the holiday (same with Christmas). Instead, please enjoy this photo I found yesterday of a #fox - my second London fox sighting.
A red fox comes down the laneway next to a one story, gabled house with Tudor-decoration and a large bay window. In front is a mid-height concrete wall with shrubbery coming over it, and a small wooden gate with the words "The Bungalow" on it. On either side are more modernist estate type buildings.

Appreciating the simplicity of this business signage, though cats giving a kind of Big Brother vibe.

A sign over a shop with only the word VET in all capitals, with a large, close up image of a cat on either side, staring intensely at the viewer.

Centre, hoarding covered with vibrantly coloured posters. Behind, the back of a row of terraces receding in an arc into the distance. Left side, a low wooden building with a green roof. Blue sky with light clouds.

London continues to delight me - this time with horses! This is a city where you truly never will know what you might find around a corner.

Coming to the end of an estate street, suddenly - a fenced in yard and green with black and white horses at their feeding time.

Another delight. Actually I've seen quite a few of these stonework structures within post-war estates. And I really love them - modernist follies. But this is the first one I've seen with tubes.

A mound covered by stone bricks with concrete tubes coming out of it on a few sides, and a ring of rectangular concrete pavers around it, surrounded by dead grass, green trees and tall buildings.

An aerial shot from Google Earth of a mound covered by stone bricks with concrete tubes coming out of it on a few sides, and a ring of rectangular concrete pavers around it, surrounded by grass, green trees and tall buildings. You can see in this view that there is a swirl pathway to get into the centre of it.

It's been more than 2 years now, and #London #architecture still continues to surprise and delight me in the most random corners of the city.

The alt-text was nearly impossible on this one.

#GoogleStreetView #London #BoroughOfLambeth #OaklandsEstate
A set of terrace houses completely shingled in wood with pointing, sloping overhanging first floor roof (but not a balcony). Modular rectangles general shape with tiny windows.

I call this Industrial-Classical.

#GoogleStreetView #London #BoroughOfLambeth #Streatham #architecture #photography #streetphotograhy
A network of old pipes forms a classical pediment and arches around three narrow, boarded up windows running horizontally, topped with a flat sandstone lintel. The wall is dirty buff brick. Some HVAC equipment in the upper right corner.

A picture of the south facing side of St. Mathew's Church, Brixton. A doorway with a classical pediment looks sunken into the ground with only the top quarter showing.

I live for this sort of unexpected urban discovery.

In the middle of an estate park, an unexpected classical building with pediment and columns.

A view between two buildings (left building, two storey International Style with an oddly Tudor feel to it due to overhanging second storey and slanted window bars, run down, boarded up; right building, contemporary, with a beauty salon on the ground floor, balconies above) down a concrete path with rough metal gates, a small figure all in black, walking away from the camera; in the distance, between the buildings, the tower of St John the Evangelist Church, Angell Town. Clouds banking from the south.
