Muswell Hill
View down the west side of Muswell Hill Viaduct, on the former Alexandra Palace branch, on 12th February 2019. Had World War Two been delayed by six months or so, the scheme to convert this to a branch of the London Underground Northern Line would have been completed but work never resumed after 1945 and the line closed instead in 1954, after more than £1 million was spent on it before 1939, making this one of the most shameful blots on London Transport's otherwise rich history. The steps were constructed when this section of the line, including the viaduct, became one of two separate parts of the Parkland Walk footpath in the 1970s.
