Just came across this pic of the north circular from 1975. how times
change. Today its a walled off 6 lane motorway at this location.

Further west it's still as narrow as that


As is most of its 'southern hemisphere' cousin! (Not that I would want

I've always described the South Circular as no more than a series of
signposts, certainly from Kew Bridge through where I was brought up,
Putney, and some way beyond.

I used to enjoy seeing the jams from Young's horse-drawn drays on local
deliveries. :-)
