A tram(p) across south London

The three arms of the tram network which links Croydon with Beckenham Junction, New Addington and Wimbledon provided three interesting mornings out recently, the route from Beckenham Junction picking up Elmers End stop on the way round the outside of Beckenham Cemetery.

I was pleasantly surprised by the quantity of green space on the route, whether parkland such as Ashburton Park and Lloyd Park, or wilder areas such as the descent off Gravel Hill and Mitcham Common. Of course there are streets, but often the route follows off-street paths parallel to the tracks.
