Dist:0.1km<br/>On Haven Road. Occupants on this side, from camera: car dealership, solicitor, bistro, travel agent, dry cleaner, 2 banks, estate agent, pharmacy, bank, 3 estate agents, hair salon, solicitor, hair salon, post office: a balance reflecting, perhaps, the well-heeled nature of this area.

Dist:0.2km<br/>According to the sign, the lines (presumably those marking the parking bays) are due to be removed and repainted, but the workmen, if the work is to take place overnight, might be thwarted judging by the number of cars parked there despite the warning.

Dist:0.2km<br/>The post office is housed within a newsagents that used to be a parfumerie (which even then contained the post office), on the main shopping area in Haven Road. The postbox is a large, Elizabeth II-reign one.
