Ponders End: Former Alma Road Mission Room
Or at least the photographer thinks that this is what this derelict building was in 2007. Certainly the Ordnance Survey mapping of 1896, and later editions, show a Mission Room here on this site, although the tin sheet structure seen here must be a later building.
(The co-ordinates are taken from the Where's the Path satellite imagery, not the Ordnance Survey 1:50,000 scale mapping, which is badly distorted here to accommodate the dual carriageway A110 Lea Valley Road, so that the subject and photographer locations appear to be in the middle of the road!)
Update October 2018
Reviewing images on Streetview shows that by August 2008 the tilting tower had gone completely, and by September 2011 the whole building had been demolished, but nothing significant had then changed on the site by April 2018.

Tower blocks at Ponders End
These tower blocks totally dominate the area to the west of Ponders End station, although judging by a nearby poster Enfield Council has big plans for the area. This looks across South Street.
