The Ridings is a very short cul-de-sac, coming to an abrupt halt where the Northern Line between Golders Green and Brent Cross station passes. The line is almost at the same level as the surrounding land here and the arches of the viaduct have given way to a solid wall. Note the leaning Telephone pole on the right. Having only a single cable results in a continuous pull in one direction and the pole leans as a result. You'd be surprised how much a small diameter length of wire weighs when it's up in the air!
