Dist:0.3km north<br/>The building was erected in 1881-2 as St Cyprian's mission church in the parish of St Mary, Lewisham (Anglican). It was superseded in 1901 by a new parish church of the same name in Adelaide Road (which was bombed in WW2) but retained as a parish hall and occasional place of worship until 1968 when it was sold to the Roman Catholics for use as a church hall. Since c.2006 it has been in secular use (as of 2009 a dance studio).

Dist:0.3km north<br/>Lots of roads converge here, and they funnel into a double mini roundabout. This is looking North, up Shardeloes Road, toward New Cross. The tall buildings on the horizon are Canary Wharf.

Dist:0.3km north<br/>This modernised unisex facility is in the wall - indeed, is the wall - at Brockley station. As a limited concession to privacy, the architects (unknown) have retained separate "Gentlemen" and "Ladies" sections. It is hoped that this may become a resource for the development of local artistic/gymnastic talents, possibly as a demonstration event at the 2012 Olympics. That would however necessitate something on a grander scale, which may not be supportable by the area's drinking and transport infrastructure. A site visitor adds: "Demolished March 2007!"

Dist:0.6km south<br/>From Ladywell. The dividing wall that once separated the two cemeteries was removed and now there is simply a grassy bank. These cemeteries were provided to relieve the pressure on London churchyards in the Victorian period.

Dist:0.7km south<br/>These two cemeteries, formerly known as Lewisham and Deptford, were once divided but are now merged and together cover 21 acres. The latter, to the west, has a large number of mature trees.
