Binfield Road, SW4

Binfield Road leads west from the junction at Stockwell station.

On 22 July 2005, Jean Charles de Menezes, a Brazilian electrician living in London, was shot dead by plainclothes police officers at Stockwell station. This incident came a day after the failed 21 July 2005 London bombings occurred on Tube trains and a bus in London; however, it later emerged that it was a case of mistaken identity on the part of the police and that Menezes had nothing to do with the attacks.

In the immediate aftermath of the shooting a small shrine to Jean Charles de Menezes was created by mourners outside the station, this has since evolved into a permanent memorial mosaic.

Located in Binfield Road, Stockwell Bus Garage was opened on 2 April 1952 and was designed to hold up to two hundred vehicles. It is one of the finest examples of post war modernist architecture.
