More about this scene

Little has changed here in the past century. These demure Victorian villas, constructed to house commuting City workers, are outwardly unchanged, although now augmented by two more modern houses on the right-hand side of the picture. But Buckingham Road is now lined on both sides by parked cars, while overhead a positive cat's cradle of telephone wires and cables stretches across the intervening space.
