This photo shows the TE in Grand Avenue N10 3AY, with trees to the left. It used to have HIGhgate Wood and TUDor numbers until the late 1960s. Now it has 0208- 444, 883 xxxx, plus other Outer London numbers. Incidentally, HIGhgate Wood was the first all-electronic TE in Great Britain in the early 1960s, but following trials that took place, the electronic equipment was taken out in the mid 1960s. Now this TE has System X digital equipment as do other TEs throughout the country. Incidentally, the notice in red on the gates says "No parking in this area" although a large white car is parked in front of those same gates.
