It's like a small cliff, the result of a landslip or earthquake, so that one section of land is higher than its neighbour.

It has nothing to do with it. I was trying to find out about a scarp (escarpment) in Horn Lane, Acton.

By an odd coincidence, after submitting this matt I was googling "Horn Lane Scarp" and I saw a search result for a Dr Who locations guide. It turns out these two flats with the green doors are on the site of a former scrapyard where the Tardis materialised to tackle some Cybermen in a 1984 episode called "Attack of the Cybermen". See doctorwholocations dot net.
That's pretty damn freaky, isn't it?
