Ruislip

By the time I got to Ruislip, it was getting dark so my journey for the day ended there. Ruislip shops are similar to any busy shopping area. The only big department store is John Sanders.

Ruislip Manor

Shops line both sides of the main road. Nothing extraordinary. Nice, quiet little town to live in. Handy to have a library near the town centre as there is a public toilet inside. I popped in to browse the books for sale.

Eastcote

Moving into the Borough of Hillingdon, the centre of  Eastcote comprises of one main shopping street with shops on both sides.

Rayners Lane

Continuing on the Piccadilly Line from South Harrow to Uxbridge, the next stop is Rayners Lane. A small but busy town with a few unusual shops such as the Cake Box that sells eggless cakes.

Cockfosters

I finally reached the northern end of Picadilly Line. Cockfosters.  Middlesex University has 2 campuses here. The Black Horse building is rather unique. Pleasant little town. It has been  long day. Glad to reach one end of the line.

Oakwood

Oakwood station is the second from last on the Piccadilly Line heading north. I did not stay here for long as there was nothing much to see or do.

Southgate

Southgate station is circular in shape with shops and eateries around it. The main shopping street is Chase Side. There are several large green parks but not within walking distance from the station.

Arnos Grove

Moving into the Borough of Enfield, the next stop is Arnos Grove. The main feature of Arnos Grove is Arnos Park. Shops line the road between Arnos Grove and Southgate which is the next stop on the Piccadilly Line.

Bounds Green

Bounds Green is a residential area with shops to meet the local people. It is within easy reach of Wood Green where the main shopping city is.

Wood Green

With walking distance from Turnpike Lane is the busy Town of Wood Green. Shops line both sides of the road. It also has a large shopping mall with the usual brand names and a market. Plenty of eateries if you are out shopping all day and needs a break.

St Michael's church

Turnpike Lane

Next stop is Turnpike Lane. Another small town with a bit of green at Ducketts Common.

Manor House

I am now in the Borough of Haringey. Manor House is a very small town with few shops for the locals to get their necessities.
