Ordinary people on Street View ending up looking a bit scary!

The man with the skipping rope is standing in front of a secret entrance to a lost rail line (learn more here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rN8...)

#GoogleStreetView #London #creepy #backrooms #nunheadstation #crystalpalace
At the end of a lane, a man stands behind a tall wire fence with deep forest and a lost entrance to the lost Crystal Palace Rail Line in the background, holding a skipping rope, the rope falling to his sides. His face is obscured in the gloom. Down the dingy pale tunnel under Nunhead Station, a man in a suit stands still, looking away from the camera.

Today we're passing by Ruskin Park! It reminds me of a poem I wrote about Euphemia Chalmers.

Acute Victorian Love Triangle

Happy Birthday @number10cat.bsky.social! While there's archived evidence of your presence on Street View, I didn't see it when I visited since the live 2012 map has you blurred out!
So I fixed that in honour of your 19th birthday! Have a great one!

Starting the new year & my journey into #Southwark with @tubemapper.bsky.social's calendar! It's so delightful & another way to enjoy #London through pictures - stunning ones! Here's his link to buy (I'm assuming it's probably not too late, the year has barely begun!) tubemapper.com/buy-tube-map...
The January page of the calendar.

I have completed the long boi that is #LondonBoroughofLambeth. For all the pictures plus more I didn't post here, go to alltheeneighbours.blogspot.com

8 printed maps lined and hatched to demonstrate that I've covered all of Lambeth, laid out vertically.

Worked hard on #Lambeth, time to take a breather for before #Southwark!

At the very end of #Lambeth, a spot where a person spends time with their chickens (or did - this is from 2018 and the most recent images do not show them anymore).

#GoogleStreetView #London #urbanfarming
A caravan sits next to two three-cage wooden chicken boxes - a chair is set up facing them, and a couch next to one of them, in a concrete yard.

Feeling so #meh. Typically this view of a dilapidated shed with garbage & an overgrown lane would fill me with #aesthetic pleasure, but I just can't get into it. Oh well, after 2 years on this project, down deep in #Lambeth suburbia, you just kinda have to keep plodding along & hope joy returns.

More great #Streatham signage and kitties ....

Sanitarian is a job you don't hear about so much these days.

#GoogleStreetView #London #BoroughOfLambeth #Streatham
Over a contemporary restaurant sign, carved into the stone in a font I'm having a hard time identifying with any specific era, but maybe 1940s? "Decorators Builders Sanitarians" and a x-patterned design above.

Kitty terraces in #Streatham

#GoogleStreetView #London #BoroughOfLambeth #cats #architecture #tudor
Terraces houses that have small double gables and third floor centre windows that make them look like cats. I have added line drawings to emphasize this.

More great #garden #decor in #Norwood, #London. This one, a #lion that looks kinda like #ChristianBale.

I think this is a piano? So charmingly gothic.

Catching a #mural in progress! What a treat!

Wish I could identify the artist but this being Kinfauns Street, most Google references are to George Harrison's former house.

#londonstreetart #art #Brixton #Streatham #london #southlondon #artist
A beautiful mural in progress with a big moon and large, almost alien mushrooms, ferns and other plants growing against a dark background - the left side of the mural is only sketched out. A young man stands in front of the moon, looking down at his paint brushes - there are paint containers all over the sidewalk.

So, #Halloween decorations show up on #London's Streetviews more than you would think, but I never remember to capture any good shots to save for the holiday (same with Christmas). Instead, please enjoy this photo I found yesterday of a #fox - my second London fox sighting.
A red fox comes down the laneway next to a one story, gabled house with Tudor-decoration and a large bay window. In front is a mid-height concrete wall with shrubbery coming over it, and a small wooden gate with the words "The Bungalow" on it. On either side are more modernist estate type buildings.

Appreciating the simplicity of this business signage, though cats giving a kind of Big Brother vibe.

#London #BoroughofLambeth #Brixton #veterinary #cats #marketing #signs
A sign over a shop with only the word VET in all capitals, with a large, close up image of a cat on either side, staring intensely at the viewer.

Sometimes I think that if I get dementia when I am old, or even if I don't but am just really old, that I will think I actually travelled all these London streets in real life. Sometimes when we travel, all we're left with are snapshots and moments of place and a feeling it gave us.

Centre, hoarding covered with vibrantly coloured posters. Behind, the back of a row of terraces receding in an arc into the distance. Left side, a low wooden building with a green roof. Blue sky with light clouds.

London continues to delight me - this time with horses! This is a city where you truly never will know what you might find around a corner.

Coming to the end of an estate street, suddenly - a fenced in yard and green with black and white horses at their feeding time.
