Would have been the Station Cafe

A lot of stations have cafes by the entrance to serve a brew to thirsty commuters, and I'm guessing Crouch End station was no different in its day. This is at the top of the steps leading down to the platforms of the long abandoned station which saw its last passengers back in 1954. Unlike the station, the cafe is still in business. Covered in graffiti like the old bridge and station remnants below, the cafe looks to have gone along with the bright colours of the artists. If you can't beat them, join them.
