Alphabetical thing: Blackhorse Road

Blackhorse Road station is near the northern end of the Underground's Victoria line, and also on the London Overground's Gospel Oak-Barking route. Like all Victoria line stations, this has tiled murals representing the station's name.

What's immediately outside the station? Again, the interesting kind of suburbia, with a good mix of different types of buildings. The station itself is a beautifully brutal piece of modernist architecture, with yet another mural of a black horse.

There's also a Deco-style business centre, several industrial estates, and the usual terraces and semis all within a few dozen metres of each other.

And hidden behind the industrial estate is a branch of the river Lee. Shut away behind locked gates (what is it with places called Blackhorse shutting away nice walking routes?) but still there to be seen.

Is it near Blackhorse Lane? No, this is in north-east London, while that's in the extreme south-east.
