A five bay within with Tudor-decorated gable above it.
I have seen this window literally 10 billion times

More great #Streatham signage and kitties ....

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.
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 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.
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.

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.
I call this Industrial-Classical.

A mural painted on the side of a terrace featuring a river, a mill and local residents enjoying the space.
What a beautiful mural!

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.
This one is for the #Tartarians.

In the middle of an estate park, an unexpected classical building with pediment and columns.
I live for this sort of unexpected urban discovery.

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.

Two stone lions guards the door of a terrace; on the same spot on the neighbour's stairs, a dark brown tabby cat lies curled up in sleep.
More #lion guardians! Two are doing their duty, but one seems to be asleep on the job.

A image of a small lot between low-(60s era) and mid- (20s era) rise buildings, a concrete square with overgrown weeds and flowering bushes in the centre, with a Brutalist bench nearly swallowed by grass. Text below reads: “Henceforth I shall know / That Nature ne ’ er deserts the wise and pure; / No plot so narrow, be but Nature there / No waste so vacant, but may well employ / Each faculty of sense, and keep the heart / Awake to to Love and Beauty!” Samuel Taylor Coleridge, This Lime-Tree Bower My Prison: Address to Charles Lamb, of the India House, London (1800)
#Coleridge didn't compose this in #London, but it certainly speaks to how I feel when I (virtually) encounter one of the many green pockets of this city.

A darkened archway in a buff-brick wall. A white window next to it, in which there is a pale blue curtain. The arch is barred by an ornate metal gate and inside the darkened space, there is a long vertical rectangle of an opening, where a door is cracked and you can see the smallest bit of a garden with luxuriant greenery, purple flowers, a blue-gray wall and a delicate yellow-red leaved tree catching the sunlight.

In the grey light of morning on brown and grey-purple stones, down a narrow street with very little green, observed by many windows but only two eyes, a reddish-brown fox on a Theed Street.
