Mundania Rd is just off the Nunhead boundary. Really, it is in Forest Hill as is suggested by the fact that the Forest Hill Tavern (not a pub in Nunhead) is directly opposite:
Although the pub has been enthusiastically refurbished, the grandest builing in Mundania is this glorious art-deco block, Mundania Court, on the corner with Forest Hill Rd:
Opposite, the Forest Hill Baptist Church seems to be being converted to flats.
Further down, some more basic deck-access blocks are enlivened by small touches such as this:
(I've just been told by an otherwise reliable authority that "All's Well" was the motto/strapline of Camberwell Borough Council. When we were all in Camberwell). Towards the far end, Mundania changes and declines to these rather samey pebble-dashed semis.
Before ending at Homestall Rd, unmetalled and (I have to say) seeming somewhat unloved:
The road must be named for Homestall Farm, which was bought and incorporated into Peckham Rye Park in the 1890s. Homestall itself just means home, homestead or farmyard, and goes back before 1000 AD. Mundania - and several of the other unusual Rd names nearby - Marmora, Therapia and Scutari - are named after locations in the Crimean War.
