A cluster of cottage style buildings with shops and residences on the corner of Lambeth Walk and Black Prince Road.

Following bomb damage in the area during World War II, which affected the famous Lambeth Walk market, the Greater London Council embarked on a wholesale redevelopment of the area in the 1960s, but the earlier atmosphere was never regained, even though the market continued in its modern new surroundings.
