This view of Bermondsey, looking north-west towards London, is utterly dominated by the railway; both lines to London Bridge built on their massive brick arches, and lines (now closed) to the Bricklayers' Arms Goods Depot seen to the left of the view.

Southwark Park, which dates from 1869, intrudes into the bottom right.

Terraced housing mostly from the mid and late Victorian period fills the centre of the landscape except where the skyline is interrupted by industry - most prominent is the Peek Frean works on the right of the railway - or by schools. Galleywall School is just to the right of the slimmest part of the neck of lines leading into the Bricklayers' Arms.
