Default Bits of history

Yesterday evening I was on a 381 bus from Surrey Quays to Peckham
(which, with hindsight, might not have been my best way to go home, but
never mind that now), and it went over what looked like a railway bridge
at one stage, but no sign of a line. However, a little further along
its route, it passed a very splendid building marked as "Southern
Railway Stables", and there was that about it that looked as though it
had once been next door to a railway line. Anybody know anything?

Then this morning, I was on a bus down to Streatham and going past the
old LCC Tramways building, now belonging to Arriva after years of being
in private hands. For once, the doors were open, and you could clearly
see the old tram rails marked on the floor. This led me to wonder - did
the trams run further south than this depot, or was that the southbound
terminus on the A23?
