Arnos Park Viaduct

The viaduct was built as part of London Underground's project to extend the Piccadilly line from Finsbury Park in the south to Cockfosters in the north which started in 1930.

[1] The extension was built in stages, first to Arnos Grove station (opened 1932[2]), then to Oakwood (then known as Enfield West),[3] during which phase the viaduct was constructed, and finally to Cockfosters.

[1] The viaduct starts at the southern edge of Arnos Park and ends on the northern side of Hampden Way, opposite Morton Way.

[4] The viaduct is made of brick[5] and consists of 34[6] numbered arches, broken only by two bridges where it passes over Waterfall Road and Hampden Way.

The railway line then enters a tunnel half a mile long in which Southgate station is located before continuing north to Oakwood and Cockfosters.
