More about this scene

Around the corner in Elms Road (which retains many of its mid-Victorian villas) is the Henry Thornton School, within the same site as the Marianne Thornton (C327056) and also part of the Clapham Centre of Lambeth College. This is a straightforward piece of 1930s traditional school architecture under a Queen Anne-ish influence, entered from Elms Road through heavy security gates and watched over by closed circuit TV cameras.
