Fallen blossom in Folkestone Gardens
Fallen blossom in Folkestone Gardens
What looks like snow on the ground is actually horse-chestnut blossom that had bloomed and fallen earlier than usual in the very dry spring of 2011.
Folkestone Gardens, Deptford

A small park off Trundleys Road in Deptford, immediately south of the London Bridge - Lewisham railway line, on the site of several streets of houses destroyed by a V2 rocket on 7 March 1945.

The park is about 400m long east-west, and no more than 100m wide. At the west end there is a duck pond, at the east end a children's playground and skateboard park, and in between a grassed area. Several of the paths in the park are part of the London Cycle Network.
