All Saints Highgate is a picturesque stone church built in 1864 to serve one of the additional eccliastical parish created in Highgate at that time.

It is surrounded by a garden, bounded to the road by wooden fencing and holly hedge with a row of pleached lime trees. A crucifix stands in the garden at the junction of the roads.

Nearby parks and gardens
Southwood Hall was built in 1845, a new-Gothic house with fine grounds. The mansion flats of Southwood Hall Estate were built over the site in 1931 and little remains of the original gardens apart from a classical statue, perhaps once one of a pair, a C19th summerhouse, and a number of fine mature trees dating from early - mid C19th.
The Southwood House Estate was built in 1958-62 on a triangular site formerly occupied by the C18th Southwood House and its grounds. The development of 2- and 3-storey housing was arranged in terraces on the three sides, overlooking a central communal garden where many of the existing mature trees and shrubs were retained. A number of exotic trees, many from North America and planted c.1900, remain in the communal garden and in private gardens of the development.
Highpoint I and II are Modernist apartment blocks designed by Lubetkin and Tecton, regarded as fine examples of early International style architecture. The private landscaped gardens to the rear of the blocks were designed by Clarence Elliott in consultation with Lubetkin. The site was mature in the 1930s and the design worked around the existing trees.
