The ground inside the dome is noticeably curved downward.

Also some odd brickwork in Wimbledon - what's the purpose of it? Maybe a
tree root used to go through there.

John, do you keep records of all these oddities? You've got enough to make
a glossy coffee-table book by now. All you'd need is to get someone (one
of the many UTLers with a decent camera and some spare time) to come on
board to do the photos, and for you to type up the results of your
inquiries.

I was in a bookshop the other day, and they had some book of London
oddities piled high and presumably selling like hot cakes (or expected
to), and that was about 70% things i knew about already. Rowland's
Gazetteer of London Curiosties (vol. I) would blow it out of the water.
