Dist:0.1km north<br/>At the corner of Glendall Street. This church was built in 1958 and was once the Brixton Seventh-Day Adventist Church. During the 1970s the congregation was fast outgrowing the building. The Church of England occupied a much larger church at Santley Street [[282774]] but was beginning to find it much too large for their needs. So an arrangement was made for the two churches to swap premises -- this happened in 1980.

Dist:0.1km north<br/>The Almshouses were built as social housing in the latter half of the 19th century. Most of the current residents are nominated by Lambeth Council now.

Dist:0.2km north<br/>St Paul's was erected by the Rev G Blake Concannon, at a cost of £16,000, and Consecrated by the Bishop of Rochester on 29 July 1881. Originally seating 1500 people (including galleries which were later removed), it is in decorated Gothic style. A planned tower at the west end was never built. It was declared redundant by the Anglican church in 1980, and exchanged for the smaller Seventh Day Adventist church [[618799]] on Ferndale Road (built 1958). It is still used by the Adventists.

Dist:0.3km north<br/>The train going over the railway bridge is the Eurostar out of Waterloo -- these trains will use this line to get to the start of the newly constructed fast rail link near Gravesend until the dedicated terminal and line opens.
