Saturday in West Hill

I spent a large chunk of Saturday in West Hill ward - this panoramic photo (or rather two bolted together photos!) was taken from the top of Bisley House on Wimbledon Parkside - you can click on it for a larger, more detailed version.

The orange blocks on the left are Oakman House and Greenfield House in Tilford Gardens - the smaller blocks in Limpsfield Avenue are to their right, and behind them both St Paul's Church. Further back are some of the blocks on the Ackroydon estate; and behind them the William Willison Estate and Sudbury, Albon, Edwyn and Knowles Houses from the Arndale estate in Southfields. Further back still you may be able to spot Battersea Power Station, the London Eye and the City of London.

On the other side of the picture, in the foreground is the currently empty Jenny Lind Pub, and the parade of shops in Inner Park Road; with Chobham Gardens and Glen Albyn Road behind them. Further back you may be able to make out the lake in Wimbledon Park - the Putney constituency boundary with Wimbledon goes straight across the lake - and right in the background you may even be able to make out the Crystal Palace transmitters.

One of the things that's great about our constituency is the amount of green there is, even in relatively densely populated areas like West Hill, which I think this photo emphasises. And on the other side of Bisley House, of course, is Wimbledon Common, Putney Heath and Richmond Park, so even more greenery there!
