Alphabetical thing: Brondesbury Park

Brondesbury Park station, like neighbouring Brondesbury, is on the London Overground's North London Line. The two platforms are linked by a footbridge leading to the ticket office.

There's a really nice, traditional station clock set into the footbridge. It probably looked even better before the overhead wires went up. I'm not sure about the cycle racks on the platform. Are cyclists supposed to carry their bikes through the ticket office and down the stairs to leave them there? Not surprisingly, no-one seems to have bothered doing it.

What's outside the station? Vicwardian terraces, with the Imam Khoei Islamic Centre looking strangely at home amongst them.

Is it near a park? Yes, it's very near one.

But the park's not called Brondesbury Park, but Queen's Park. The same Queen's Park which also has its own station named after it elsewhere! Once again, there's nothing to indicate that anywhere called Brondesbury really exists outside the over-worked imaginations of Victorian railway planners.
