<br/>Taken at the junction of Fentiman Road. In the foreground are Lambeth Council flats. The 3 storey 19th century houses to the rear of the shot are much more likely to be owner occupied, although not necessarily by one household as flat conversions are common here.

<br/>Taken at the junction of Fentiman Road. The cycle logo in the bottom left corner denotes a London Cycle Route. The speed limit sign in centre shot suggests that this side of the sign is a 20mph zone.
