The Chapel, Tyburn Convent

This is an enclosed order of nuns who seldom leave the premises, except in emergencies, and so the gate to the chapel would normally be locked. Here, it is open for members of the public, attending morning Mass, to receive Holy Communion. Although so near to Marble Arch, little disturbs the calm of this place except the periodic rumble of tube trains passing below. The community do have a garden at the rear where they grow plants and vegetables, as well housing some poultry and a hive of bees.

Rush-hour in Adam & Eve Mews, W8

Adam & Eve Mews is a direct turning off Kensington High Street, not far from the Underground station. At a quarter past six in the evening I dodged through here on my way to Abingdon Villas. I saw not a single motor vehicle and scarcely a living soul - just one resident sitting outside her front door, reading. Good to see that cobbles have survived here.

Algae Meadow, Exhibition Road, South Kensington

The algae meadow is an installation by Seyi Adelekun & Wayward with the Victoria & Albert Museum. Visitors to the meadow are encouraged to look for wild flower and insect species and to play with the pumps that aerate the tubes that contain algae, feeding them with oxygen and carbon dioxide; the algae, in turn, fertilise the plants in the meadow.

Yalta Memorial, Thurloe Place, South Kensington

The monument consists of a pillar with concave sides topped by a sculpture entitled Twelve Responses to Tragedy, consisting of twelve heads of men, women and children, joined together and looking out in all directions. A cross is set in the brick paving with inscribed stones at three of the four points. The stone visible in the photo is inscribed, THIS MEMORIAL WAS PLACED HERE BY MEMBERS OF ALL PARTIES IN BOTH HOUSES OF THE PARLIAMENT AND BY MANY OTHER SYMPATHISERS IN MEMORY OF THE COUNTLESS INNOCENT MEN WOMEN AND CHILDREN FROM THE SOVIET UNION AND OTHER EAST EUROPEAN STATES WHO WERE IMPRISONED AND DIED AT THE HANDS OF COMMUNIST GOVERNMENTS AFTER BEING REPATRIATED AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR MAY THEY REST IN PEACE A second stone names the sculptor, Angela Conner, and the title of the sculpture. The third is inscribed, THIS SCULPTURE WAS DEDICATED BY THE BISHOP OF FULHAM ON 2ND AUGUST 1986 TO REPLACE THE PREVIOUS MEMORIAL DEDICATED BY THE BISHOP OF LONDON ON 6TH MARCH 1982 WHICH WAS LATER DESTROYED BY VANDALS TO WHOM THE TRUTH WAS INTOLERABLE There is a Wikipedia article here Link

which gives a good account of the Cold War background to this monument. The landscaped area around it is known as the Yalta Memorial Gardens, after the Yalta Conference held in Crimea in February 1945 between Churchill, Stalin and Truman, the leaders of, respectively, the British Empire, the USSR (Soviet Union/Russia) and the USA, to agree the state borders and security of Europe once Germany had been defeated. With the onset of the Cold War between the western and Soviet blocs after 1945 the conference became a subject of intense controversy. This was in part because of the fate of the displaced persons who were returned by the western powers to the USSR and its client states in the east and who are remembered by this monument.
