South Norwood Hill
South Norwood Hill descends sharply towards South Norwood. It becomes Portland Road at the crossroads with the A213 road. No longer hidden from view by the Esso petrol station, which was demolished in 2009, is the famous Spurgeon's College, a theological college which since 1923 has been located in a mansion built in 1890 and known as Falkland Park. The former porter's lodge of the Falkland Park estate still stands along South Norwood Hill as no. 217, "Falkland Lodge". Otherwise this section is mainly residential.
