there can't be many places where london buses pass each other while driving on the right...

Just trains for the sake of it really. These engines have given amazing service to Swiss railways since the 60s. Loads of them are visually almost unchanged since then too. But time is running out for most now.

slightly less posh, there's a few car parks in stoke-on-trent that do the same thing, as they are off to the right on a one-way street

like this one in stoke-upon-trent*

A better location shot. Pleased to note it was an engine which spent much of it's working life in South Wales !

Dammit, I looked at your first photo and thought "Epping & Ongar?" before you posted the second but didn't write my guess down, which would have made me look pretty clever, I reckon.

Epping and Onger?

Well done - nice line with very friendly staff. We had priviliged access to the signal boxes which was great. Have to say that the views from even the Central line out there is nice - (how many tube trains give you views over fields - but the branch is quite superb.

Of course , having a Great Western engine which spent it's working life in South Wales is quite superb. Great day out.

I'm Epping furious with myself.

Isn't Epping and ongar owned by one man who also occasionally runs a vintage bus or two?

^ that terrace of houses on the skyline can go in a niche category of something like "terraced housing strikingly visible from railway lines".

I always notice it. Similarly, a view down into a grid of terraces with alleys between their back gardens just south of Newcastle, the long, straight rear of a Peabody terrace on the way into London Victoria, the rear of a curved terrace just before you arrive at Paddngton.

Look at the state of the stonework on that poor building

It's a weird one. A 1910 photo show the stonework apparently supported underneath, and a 1969 pic shows it all cut off. I suspect it was a dodgy design/build to start with:
