Dist:0.4km north<br/>Looking along Tufnell Park Road towards Tufnell Park Underground station. Tufnell Park acquired its name from a William Tufnell who held the Manor of Barnsbury in 1753; the manor passed to George Tufnell, a brewer, in 1797. Today these mid-Victorian terraced houses are well looked after and attract high prices.

Dist:0.4km north<br/>This is the broad expanse of Lady Margaret Road heading from Leighton Road towards Brecknock Road. The church spire on the right belongs to Our Lady Help of Christians Roman Catholic Church, built in 1864. This Church is unusual in that it was built as a Methodist Church but changed hands in 1970 when the local Catholic church wanted more space and the Methodists less.

Dist:0.5km north<br/>This station acquired a new importance when the cross-river Thameslink services began in 1986. The two platforms on the left are used for local stopping trains from (mainly) St Albans City to the Sutton/Wimbledon loop. The two on the right are for fast Thameslink services, mostly from Bedford to Brighton or Gatwick Airport, which do not stop here. There are two more tracks without platforms on the far right, used for express Midland Main Line services to Derby, Nottingham and Sheffield.
