It's well worth a trip to Ally Pally just to admire the venue the view and the surrounding parks. They've spent money to do up the original broadcasting venue so if you can try and have a good look around. It's an uphill trip getting there so careful if (like me) you not as nimble as you once were. 

At least it's downhill going home.
