East End gaslights
This is Malam Gardens, Poplar, East London. Built as a private housing estate for a gas company in 1935-36 it remains gas-lit to this day. There are five lamps to three different designs.
There are few gas lights anywhere nowaday. Some survive in posh streets in places like St James's in central London. There is a very grand Georgian Crescent in Blackheath that is gas lit too - but is this the last 'ordinary' street in London to retain gas lighting?
You can see how close Canary Wharf is!
