From Deacons Hill

A line of hills lies to the north of London, of which Deacons Hill is one. This has long presented a challenge to those building transport links to the north of the capital. The Roman Road, Watling Street skirts Deacon Hill a mile to the west; the Midland main line tunnels directly underneath and the M1 approaches beside the railway before turning sharply west and crossing at the point chosen by the Romans.
