This long, linear site consists of the triangles of land at South Tottenham Junction and West Junction, and the railsides, mostly on embankments, between Railway Fields and the Lea Valley. The site as a whole provides a substantial area of relatively undisturbed habitat, and is an important corridor leading from the Lea Valley into the more built-up parts of the borough.
