Dist:0.3km<br/>This sign indicating that Woodside Avenue is a 20mph zone has been partially flattened by a truck. The cracked paving stones might have given the council workers a clue that lorries regularly mount the pavement here when turning into Woodside Avenue. Beyond is the bridge over the Northern Line tracks to Highgate Depot.

Dist:0.4km<br/>This is the entrance to Highgate Golf Club. The Club was founded in 1904, the course being laid out on farmland leased from the Church Commissioners. The freehold was finally purchased in 1959. During their history the clubhouse has twice been destroyed by fire. To paraphrase Lady Bracknell to lose one clubhouse is unfortunate, to lose two seems like carelessness! The current course is 18 holes 5985 yards par 69.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Taken from Cherry Tree Wood, this is part of the original Northern Heights branch of the Great Northern Railway that ran from Finsbury Park to High Barnet. Nowadays it just links Highgate depot to East Finchley station allowing Northern Line trains to enter service each morning. The bridge in the distance carries Woodside Avenue over the line. The depot is beyond the bridge.
