Nothing personal. It's from the people who live in their cars.

Seriously, there are people who live in their cars and choose to park themselves in this area?

Sorry to hear it! What a welcome to the neighbourhood. Just to reassure you that this hasn't happened to us or to anyone we know in the neighbourhood, so hopefully a one off!

I assumed it was probably a one off. If it happens again I am getting CCTV so I can get the pooper on camera.
I was quite grateful there dietary choices prevented it making much of a mess.

Not a nice welcome to the neighbourhood. As others have said it's not something I've heard of before. So hopefully a one-off. (Failing that, what about man-sized pigeon spikes?)

I've had it happen twice in the year I've lived in the area. I have a gate off of the Harringay Passage and the recess between the Passage wall and the gate door creates a sort of "stall". It's a lovely thing to open the gate to take the bicycle through and have that sitting front and centre on the step into the Passage.
It hasn't happened since maybe March--about the same time as the bum who lived in the Santander bank doorway disappeared or seemed to have moved elsewhere.

Is that the Iggy Pop lookalike? Good riddance. That guy was a real nuisance - saw him once kicking a lamp post and shouting verbal abuse. On the fecal matter -Isn't it common for heroin to cause rather intense bowel movement? I wouldn't be surprised given the wide assortment of junkies and drug dealers kicking about...

I don't know his name. He's the one who shakes a lot from the meth he takes. I've also seen him with some drugette chick friend in the Passage where they set up a pup tent to conceal the drug consumption.

We caught someone trying this in our front garden in 7Sisters once. Not seen since. Probably one of the street drinkers from round 7Sis station, the same guys cross the road to piss in the hedge along Page Green Terrace when the phone box is otherwise occupied. Now even the occasionally-open public toilet at Apex House has been demolished, can we expect more of these tokens?

Its a sad indictment of our society that not only do we have many homeless people but there are very few public toilets so they have little option but to go where they can. Offhand I can think of the public loos in the Mall, Shopping City and the sometimes open public loos by Turnpike Lane Station.

The sad indictment is modern liberalism's having significant responsibility for the current status quo by seeing institutionalisation for the mentally ill as a stigma (the whole point of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest) and thereby closing institutions which in turn put people who are in serious need of help onto the streets.
I would be the first to state that putting the responsibility of determining who is suitable for institutionalisation is a risk--especially if it could become a political tool. Still, the history of this country shows that the good intentions were sincere since such people were seen as "patients" at least as an attempt to minimise the stigma.
However, one feels about the de-institutionalisation, it is fairly certain that a big reason why we have the problems like faeces as discussed in the OP is because of the decision simply to turn people who cannot take care of themselves out on the streets.
