A brisk walk around a very chilled Larkhall Park in Stockwell South London

Larkhall Park is lovely during the summer months. The man made mounds that surround the perimeter of the park are perfect for sunbathing. It can be a little more challenging as we head into a cold autumn snap. It’s still the heart of Stockwell and greatly appreciated by many in the community.

Starting off along South Lambeth Road. Decent late Victorian detail.

An ice cream was optimistic for the start of November. Can you spot what other treat is lurking behind the street clutter?

Behold the magnificent architecture of Stockwell Bus Garage! It’s been standing proud around these parts since 1952. It was Europe’s largest unsupported concrete structure when it first opened.

Locals will tell you tales of how the concrete BEAUT attracts visitors from abroad coming to marvel at the Temple of Concrete.

A slightly more recent addition along Lansdowne Way is Avenida Brasil. The cocktail bar and restaurant has added a little colour to the previously drab Duke of Cambridge boozer.

Edrich House on the corner of Binfield Road. This is one of four similar structures standing proud in Stockwell. They were worked on by Lambeth’s in-house architect George Finch. Edrich House was completed in 1968.

A simple and stylish design, fitting for Thomson Lavers Architects.

The Priory Arms – a proper South London boozer.

The old Windmill pub along Priory Grove. It’s seen better days. The recent scaffolding suggests that some much needed love might be coming the way of the grand old building.

Pesky Russian vines.

The old Priory Grove Victorian School. Now flats.

The first of many of the Larkhall mounds. The park is a relative newcomer in the borough. It was opened in 1974. Bomb damage and slum clearance led to the creation of the space.

The old Eurotower poking through one of the mounds. It use to be a favourite hostel for backpackers during the early 1990’s. The hostel is currently the home for refugees welcomed into the borough.
