Bonus nugget: In the background of our photo you can see the block of flats, 3-8 Porchester Gate. Its private drive has an interesting feature; the kerb stones are each marked with a section of white paint, now quite worn. which we think might be a safety feature left over from the WW2 blackout, as shown here at Gizmodo.
