A number of websites mention Shepherds Hill Gardens as one of the secret delights of Haringey. This quote is from the "Top 10 Things To Do In The Borough Of Haringey" - http://londonist.com/2011/04/top-10-things-to-do-in-the-borough-of-haringey.php "Best Nook: Shepherd’s Hill Gardens There are plenty of great hidden spaces in Haringey, such as Stationer’s Park, lost in the back streets of Hornsey, with its water features and children’s playground, or the Railway Gardens nature reserve by Harringay Green Lanes station. But to get away from all traces of the city environment, the best secret spot in the borough is Shepherd’s Hill Gardens, concealed behind a wall of trees on the north side of Shepherd’s Hill, just to the east of Broughton Gardens. The view has been carefully angled to do away with the city — it looks over a playing green in Crouch End, and Queen’s Wood behind, with only St James Muswell Hill and the Palace as visual landmarks. Small, simple and perfect." In this photograph Muswell Hill is on the skyline to the left and Alexandra Palace on the skyline to the right.
