Central Line railway in Buckhurst Hill The railway lines sweep up towards Buckhurst Hill station before dropping and swinging right. This view was taken from the footbridge to the south of the station. The cream building with green facings is the Railway Tavern.

Connaught Water Named after the first Ranger of Epping Forest, Queen Victoria's son Arthur, Duke of Connaught, this pond was first created in 1880 to drain a marshy area of the forest. It was used as a paddling pool and later as a boating lake.

The Central Line looking south towards Buckhurst Hill. Halfway up the right side of the grid square. Taken from the footbridge over the Central Line (where it runs above ground), this was the worst part of my walk along section 19 of the London Loop, the bridge was grey, caged in overhead and covered with graffiti. Just as well I had a small lens as I had to poke it through the mesh.

Woodford Green

I have no idea what this very curious bird is but I love the magnificent colour of its plumage.
