Up the Steps or Down the Slope
This is along the Pymme's Brook Trail in Oak Hill Park, which is also a cycleway. A by pass for bicycles goes around some steps up out of the brookside park.

Heron beside Pymme's Brook
Watching me watching him. Considering how herons usually fly off before you get anywhere near them, this one seems totally urbanised and not bothered.
This is in Oak Hill Park.

Pymme's Brook in Oak Hill Park
Pymme's Brook is named after William Pymme a local landowner between 1307-1327. It is a tributary of the River Lea.
A long distance path, the Pymme's Brook Trail follows the course of the stream, although not always as closely as this, for 16km from Monken Hadley Common to Edmonton.

Pymme's Brook Trail by Oak Hill Park
"Pymmes Brook Trail is located in the London Boroughs of Barnet and Enfield and is just under 16 km long. It is named after William Pymme a local landowner between 1307-1327. The trail is between Monken Hadley Common and the Lee Valley Leisure Complex at Edmonton or alternatively the River Lee Navigation at Pickett's Lock where the trail connects with the Lea Valley Walk. The trail only follows Pymmes Brook approximately as much of it passes through private land which is not open to the public. In its lower urban reaches much of the brook has been culverted to alleviate the risk of flooding." Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pymmes_Brook_Trail
The Brook is down in the trees on the left as the trail goes along a cycleway beside a street appropriately called Brookside.
This section of the trail is largely in parkland and follows the brook more closely than in the lower part.
