Peckham to Elephant

Strings of towerblocks and low rise blocks, scraps of grass, trees dwarfed by the buildings, improvements as after thoughts when the brutalist architecture has proved not to work. Concrete walkways. Glass corridors. Wooden fencing round the gardens on the ground floors, already broken down and rotting, the patches inside still uncared for. A playground in the classic 70s style - scaffold A frame structures painted orange and blue. All thats left are a couple of lengths of chain, swings long gone.
