We have three churches in our "team ministry". After last Sunday's service I started at the Ascenscion and walked to Holy Trinity, then to St Johns, stopping every 50 paces (I counted) and taking a photograph.

So its a sort of transect of our "parish". It shows the diversity of ways of life round here quite well I think.

If you click on them you get to flickr and there are loads more photos of the area - I have tagged the pictures taken in the parish with "geographicalparish". We've got tower blocks and an 18th-century mansion and streets of houses that sell for a million quid a floor and genuine slums and more than one railway station and herons and kingfishers and tidal water and filled-in quarries and shops and nightclubs and restaurants - all in about half a square mile of London inner suburbia.
