A few of the concrete streetlights in Grove Road off the Sutton gyratory are not working, their lamps presumably blown. One's already lost its 'red- into-amber' lamp for a more modern variant (not LED) whilst another was struggling to shine as it ommits a very dim flickering red. The streetlights along Angel Hill have been modified with LED units barring the solitary concrete variant which still has its modernised (non LED) lamp.
Edit: One concrete variant still shines strong with its 'red-into-amber' lamp on Green Lane, easily seen from the Rose Hill roundabout during the appropriate times.

Meanwhile here in Harrow, there’s one gallant old Eleco GR535 on a 5m pole on the corner of a Clovelly Way and Lulworth Close still going strong. Always had a big liking for these and other red-into-orange glowing lanterns, ones by Eleco, GEC, REVO and Simplex. In the Mitcham area we still have two unmodified red-into-amber streetlights on a cul-de-sac off Church Road that's also called Church Road. /quote] The one closer to the main Church Road is now LED retrofitted

A couple of weeks ago, I was in Waltham Forest ticking off a few routes and I noticed they've began to replace the remaining concrete columns on the side roads in the north of the borough around Chingford & Yardley Lane - as I went through Yardley Lane Estate on the 379, workmen were wiring up the new columns and condemning the concrete columns

It's been reported that from late spring the section of Streatham Hill between Christchurch Road and Streatham Hill Station will begin the process of an infrastructure change. This is said to involve the removal of the central carriageway, widening of the pavement, overall reduction of traffic lanes (from six to two) and new cycle lanes. Amongst the end of an era of that road layout it will sadly be the end of those 90's installed streetlights.

Can't help but think what are they thinking? What on earth do they need 4 lanes and the central carriageway for, I would've thought 2 lanes are enough

I believe the two refers to each direction - the consultation picture was one normal lane & one bus lane in each direction so it's currently three lanes each way which will drop to two lanes each way

Typo error, should say from 'SIX' lanes (three a side) to four lanes ('TWO' a side). Was a bit tipsy when posted.
