View from St James's Lane Viaduct
This is the view across London from St James's Lane Viaduct on the Parkland Walk. Storm Freya had cleared the air. The ArcelorMittal Orbit Tower and the buildings around Stratford are slightly left of centre.

The Parkland Walk is the former track of the branch railway line which ran from Finsbury Park to Alexandra Palace and closed to passengers in 1954 and finally in 1971. The Parkland Walk officially opened in 1984.

The first part of the Parkland Walk goes from Finsbury Park to Archway Road. The old track of the railway then passes through Highgate Wood before it is rejoined at Muswell Hill Road and heads to Alexandra Palace across St James's Lane Viaduct.
