Hello? Union Street, SE1.

Cross Bones Graveyard, SE1- a medieval unconsecrated graveyard for prostitutes (called ‘Winchester Geese’ at the time because they were licensed by the Bishop of  Winchester).

By the 18th century it had become a paupers’ burial ground, which finally closed in 1853. A decorated shrine has now sprung up on the site.

Old – and rather rare – Penfold Hexagonal postbox on Devonshire Road, Forest Hill.

These were the standard design for UK Post Office boxes between 1866–1879.

  1. Big Daves Gusset graffiti has been there for as long as i can remember – 20 years at least i reckon!

    As to the Hexagonal postbox, theres also a rather dapper old post office a few doors up on Devonshire road – currently being converted into artist studios
