Welcome to St. Johns. This is a guide to the St. Johns area.

The River Ravensbourne flows through south-east London and enters the Thames at Deptford Creek. The Docklands Light Railway follows the river between Lewisham and Deptford. Here the river and DLR train are seen from Brookmill Park, SE14, with waterworks behind. The view is to the east, with the river flowing from right to left.

Church hall belonging to the parish of St John, Deptford. Could be confused historically with the former church of Holy Trinity on Blackheath Hill nearby, which is no longer standing.

Lewisham station covers the corner of 4 grid squares. This is the junction just west of the station - lines to Nunhead (left) and London Bridge (right).

This Grade II church at the corner of St John's Vale and Lewisham Way has a very tall spire and is surrounded by trees, so difficult to photograph in its entirety. Here is the south ('back') end of the church with three new small windows inserted below the original main window when the church was reordered in the 1970's.

The station has a single island platform on the slow lines accessible only by footbridge. The fast lines nearest the camera have no platforms. The station is named after the nearby church.

This building used to be Carrington House, a men's hostel. It was converted into flats in 1995. I do not know what became of the former residents.

This picture was taken at the junction of Somerset Gardens. The house on the corner has a colour scheme that is somewhat striking. It has painted like this for at least 20 years.

The pavement in the foreground is the edge of the present Deptford Bridge carrying the A2 across the River Ravensbourne. A historic location, as the Cornish Rebels were defeated on this site in 1497. In the background, the DLR station is being extended for 3-car trains.

Typical of a Southern Railway power substation, this one is alongside the line between St John's and Lewisham stations.

The narrow tunnel taking a cycle route under the railway is quite long as it carries the several tracks of the junction west of Lewisham station.

The car is parked in Oscar Street; the gate and the vegetation in Thornville Street which for this part of its length is not open to traffic.
