Dist:0.2km north<br/>This part of New Addington has all its roads named after Surrey villages and physical features. For example, as well as Headley Drive itself, the road off to the right is Netley Close, off to the left by the phone box is Witley Crescent, and the housing in the distance is variously on Merrow Way, Claygate Crescent and Milford Green.

Dist:0.7km south<br/>Viewed from Goldcrest Way across a strip of parkland that cuts across the middle of New Addington. Perhaps it's appropriate that goldcrests are kept separate from kestrels!

The chancel is the oldest part of the church, built around 1080. The pre-Raphaelite wall painting was completed in 1898, as part of a memorial to Archbishop Benson. This photograph was taken during a concert performed as part of the church's arts festival (soloist: Miho Hakamata).

Dist:1.0km south<br/>Conceived in the 1930s, the First National Housing Trust began a 'Garden Village' on what was then farmland, as a slum-clearance project. The New Addington estate was mainly developed in the 1950s as a massive semi-rural council estate, and despite right-to-buy amelioration of the social profile, it is still hardly one of the nicer districts. One of the largest estates in London not served by rail, it was a main reason for constructing Tramlink.
