North of Crouch End

Posted by Harry Wood on 6 April 2009 in English.

I went for nice long sunny mapping session around the area North of Crouch End South of Alexandra Palace. The area probably has a name. Actually a lot of shops etc said "Hornsey", but I thought *I* lived in Hornsey, and that's the other side of Crouch End. These people who came up with names for areas obviously didn't talk to eachother beforehand.

The walk took in Hornsey Church Tower, which is a nice little old building which I'd always been curious about while speeding past on a train out of London. Very noticeable from the train window for some reason. Well now I've found it on the ground.

I also found some new (not on Yahoo imagery) very modern apartments of New River Avenue, leading to a curious cyclepath which tunnels under the railway tracks and onto the "wrong" side of the tracks. A run down industrial estate. On any other day this would've been an unpleasant place to explore, but today the sun was shining, and that whole neighbourhood was echoing with the sounds of a live gospel choir music coming from the "Faith Miracle Centre". Supercheerful! Shame I don't really know how to tag it.

Location: Hornsey, London Borough of Haringey, Greater London, England, N8 7PB, United Kingdom
