Queenstown Road

Queenstoen Road Railway Station
Queenstown Road is a railway station in Battersea, South London, between Vauxhall and Clapham Junction. There are 8 tracks but only 3 platforms (one of which in the photo above is not used). Now in a state of general disrepair the station is a short walk from Battersea Park station and Battersea Park itself. The entrance to the station still bears the original name of the station 'Queens Road'.

Kew Gardens

Kew Palm House
The Palm House at Kew Gardens as seen through my eyes.

Both dramatic and elegant, its curvilinear structure is a classic example of Victorian design. Built between 1844 and 1848, by Richard Turner to Decimus Burton's designs. it was constructed to house tropical trees, shrubs and palms. The Palm House is world's most important surviving Victorian glass and iron structure.
