Walked one of the track beds for the first time in a good few years today, from East Finchley to Finsbury Park with my better half as something to do until the tube wasn't so crowded.
They have put up tube map type signs along the route, the type you would get inside a train. Instead of stations, they have points of interest along the route, and instead of zones at the bottom they have the distance between them.
Along with the tunnels (gated off very securely) you can also spot places along the route where wooden sleepers have been used for various things, including steps and retaining walls, amongst other things.
Well worth a walk if anyone is that way, a very easy and level walk, as can be expected from a trackbed.

One day, I might take a saunter along the track bed walkway in the opposite in the opposite direction, from Morden Road to Merton Park tram stop just for the sake of completeness!
