This is Gillespie Park Nature Reserve and indeed parts are right by the
main line.

Another reserve where you can hear if not see Eurostar and other trains
is Camley Street Natural Park at Kings Cross. It was a coal yard and
it's also bordered by the Regent's canal.

The best place for trainspotting (and animals) I've found with the kids
is Kentish Town City Farm - it straddles the main line into Kings Cross,
and you can also see a branch that goes into a tunnel, and running
perpendicular at the back is the North London Line.
