East Finchley: East Finchley Cemetery bus stop

This is the eastbound East Finchley Cemetery bus stop on the A504 East End Road, with the cemetery on the side of the road that the photographer is standing on. Apart from the bus stop with its ephemeral adverts, there is a dark green gateway through the brick wall with a pointed arch with a cross on top, and a Victorian letterbox set into the wall. Old Victorian Ordnance Survey maps describe the building beyond the wall as The Convent of The Good Shepherd, so perhaps the nuns used, and still do use, the gateway to get to the letterbox to send their letters. The letterbox does not currently have a collection plate, but the flap is still open so presumably it is still in use.
