Nine Elms Station, Wandsworth Road

On its first day of operation. It is one of two stations on a new Northern Line extension from Kennington, the terminus being Battersea Power Station. They will serve an area being filled with hideous towers, examples of which can be seen behind, as well as the revamped power station, US Embassy etc.

The derelict Cricketers pub

The Cricketers pub next to Kennington Oval has been closed and derelict since 2002. In March 2019, planning permission was granted for demolition and construction of a new residential development with a replacement ground floor public house. Behind are the famous Grade II gasholders, familiar from test matches at the Oval. The shape of the Oval Cricket Ground was determined by the pre-existing street pattern – not the other way around.

Brockwell Park

Brockwell Park is a 50 hectare park located between Brixton, Herne Hill and Tulse Hill, bordered by Brixton Water Lane, Norwood Road, Tulse Hill (Road), and Dulwich Road in South London. The park commands views of the skyline of the city and Central London, and hosts almost 4 million annual visits. At the top of the hill within the park stands Brockwell Hall. Brockwell Park is a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation (SINC) of Borough Importance, with mature trees including ancient oaks, substantial lawn areas set to meadow, and a series of lakes. As well as adding to the landscape value, these support a variety of birds, and bats. The Park is listed for its heritage value on The National Heritage List for England, Parks & Gardens, Grade II. Noted for its nineteenth century layout as a gracious public park, the clocktower, water garden, JJ Sexby designed walled garden and other monuments, the park provides a pleasant exploration with links to its eighteenth century agricultural past in the hedge lines, and mature oak trees. The Brockwell Lido, a Grade II listed art deco building near the top of the park, is an open-air swimming pool popular with swimmers and bathers. Its attached café/restaurant is also popular. Other amenities in Brockwell Park include tennis courts, a bowling green, a BMX track and a miniature railway.
