Found another photo and I think it is possibly the same time, which would seem to agree with Fosney's post below that they where on holiday.?

This one’s really confusing, and apparently it always has been. There is an alley marked on old OS maps as Bryan Court in Rotherhithe that ran between Bryan Road (formerly Trinity Road) and Rotherhithe Street (formerly Trinity Street), where Bryan House now stands. But only one or two houses are shown in that alley. The 1911 census summary records only one address in Bryant’s Alley but four in Bryant’s Court and nine in Mariner’s Court. This all suggests that that the Bryan Court marked on the map was known as Bryant’s Alley and that part of the alley marked Mariner’s Buildings was Bryant’s Court. To confuse things further George Duckworth drew a sketch map in his Booth’s Poverty Survey notebook in 1899 with the southern half of Mariner’s Buildings marked as Bryant’s Place. Given that the house in the photo was № 6, I think we can be sure it was 6 Mariner’s Buildings (because there wasn't a № 6 in Bryant's Alley or Bryant's Court). The council seem to have been adamant that the name is Bryan with no ‘T’.

I’m guessing there was a lack of street name signs.

The photo appears to have been taken at the Bovington tank museum, presumably on a daytrip or holiday. All I can find is that Rydal Penrhos School in Colwyn Bay had ‘strong links’ with the Bermondsey Settlement in Farncombe Street. Both were Methodist.

110 Southwark Park Road is the address of the photographer, Sydney Angle, not of the school.
