Dist:1.1km southeast<br/>Beverley Brook flows out into the River Thames to the east of Barnes. This was taken looking downstream from the Blakes Lane / West Barnes Lane road bridge. The boundary between the London Boroughs of Merton, to the right, and Kingston upon Thames, to the left, runs down the centre of the brook at this location.

Dist:1.3km east<br/>Local shop on Seaforth Avenue, surviving by diversifying it seems.

Dist:1.3km southeast<br/>The grubby white post against the bridge parapet is a boundary marker. It shows the boundary between the former Boroughs of Malden and Coombe to the left and Merton and Morden to the right. During the reorganization of local government in the 1960s, the former became part of the London Borough of Kingston upon Thames, and the latter became part of the London Borough of Merton. The current boundary between these Boroughs still follows the original line through the marker. The sign on the post on the left shows that you are entering the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames. The road changes its name from Motspur Park to West Barnes Lane either side of the boundary post. The bridge carries the road over Beverley Brook.

Dist:1.4km southeast<br/>Motspur Park is on the line between Wimbledon and Epsom. This is the down platform. There are six trains an hour to Waterloo during ordinary weekday hours, at a scheduled 25 minutes for the journey.

Dist:1.4km southeast<br/>With typically six trains an hour in each direction on weekdays this is a very busy level crossing with frequent closures to road traffic. [[675396]] is in the distance with an up South West Trains train in the station and a down service bound for Dorking departing and about to cross over the level crossing.
