| 7.1 Despite calling the bus stop "Plaistow Lane", this is a view of Widmore Green from Widmore Road, looking towards Bickley. | 7.2 The Oak pub, and some of the adjacent houses are amongst the older properties surrounding the green with its large central tree and horse trough. | 7.3 Leaving Widmore Green, the road still looks a bit like the twisting lane it presumably once was. Very little is like this now! | 7.4 Houses along the lane range from the inappropriately modern to the inconveniently Victorian, plus a few more unusual properties like this one. | 7.5 St. Joseph's RC church (with the Convent School beyond left) at the junction of Plaistow Lane with Orchard Road. |
| 7.6 Bromley Bowling Club green. Opposite the club is an unusual single storey house with a large central hall, built I believe for an Italian ambassador. | 7.7 The lodge house for the former Sundridge Park estate, now a management training centre and the golf course. | 7.8 Sundridge Park station, once neat and tidy, it now appears to be returning to nature. Plaistow Lane crosses behind the footbridge. | 7.9 Sundridge Parade, just down from the station bridge, used to be a thriving small shopping centre, but now looks rather run down. | 7.10 The final junction with Burnt Ash Lane (behind the trees on the left), once the site of the large Springhill house and garden, now long gone and apparently forgotten. |
