Highgate: Former railway line
Image: © Nigel Cox Taken: 26 Sep 2008
This is the trackbed of the former Great Northern Railway line from Finsbury Park to Alexandra Palace via Highgate, as viewed looking east from the Stanhope Road bridge. The track was lifted in 1972. The trackbed is now a public footpath that forms a section of the 125 kilometre long Capital Ring http://www.walklondon.org.uk/route.asp?R=1 that a couple of joggers are using. The whole of the former railway property is also now the Railway Fields Local Nature Reserve.
