Due to road works at the southern end (abutting Endymion-Upper Tollington roads) the southern two thirds of Oakfield Road is not open for through traffic. Tonight Marlborough Highway and Cadent (gas) were on site. The area is festooned with road-closed and diversion signs …

Took if from Harringay Station this morning and there is a massive diversion in the Archway direction. We went all the way to Hornsey Library then turned up Crouch Hill, along Tollington Park, Hornsey Road and Hornsey Rise then it went out of service at the Clock Tower.
There was no announcement that it was going that way because anyone heading for the Clock Tower could have just got off at the library and walked through. Also no announcement that it would terminate at the Clock Tower as we could have got off at Crouch Hill station and got the train to Upper Holloway.
No buses for Archway from the Clock Tower stop so I and a woman who was also headed for The Whittington had to share an Uber to get to our appointments on time. Coming back from Archway the bus went on its normal route but terminated at Harringay station where there were three other buses were already parked up.
If you’re heading for The Whittington I’d strongly advise to take a different route and allow extra time. I made it with seconds to spare.

Yes, I got it from Sainsburys yesterday (or was it Sunday?) and got caught unawares at the Crouch Hill/Broadway junction. I would have got off if I hadn't been reading! The driver actually stopped at a passenger's request just after we turned left there (instead of right). I think those roadworks are due to finish this Friday.
