Area guide
Living in Haringey
Haringey is a London borough in the north of the capital, created under the London Government Act 1963 from the former boroughs of Hornsey, Tottenham and Wood Green. It runs from Highgate and Muswell Hill in the west to Tottenham and the Lee Valley marshes in the east, so the character of its neighbourhoods varies considerably. Haringey Council's list of conservation areas runs from Highgate and Crouch End to Noel Park and the Tottenham High Road Historic Corridor.
The council's conservation area appraisals describe a mix of housing stock. Tottenham and Wood Green have Victorian and Edwardian terraces and planned estates, including Noel Park in Wood Green, the London County Council's Tower Gardens estate in Tottenham and the Georgian villas of Bruce Grove. Muswell Hill is described as a well-preserved Edwardian suburb, with red-brick parades of shops and flats surrounded by two and three storey semi-detached and terraced houses. In Crouch End, terraces dominate near the centre and detached and semi-detached houses lie further south and west. Large open spaces include Finsbury Park, Alexandra Park and Palace, Bruce Castle Park and Tottenham Marshes.
The borough has Victoria line stations at Tottenham Hale and Seven Sisters, Piccadilly line stations at Wood Green, Turnpike Lane and Bounds Green, and Highgate on the Northern line, all in Zone 3 (TfL lists Bounds Green in Zones 3 and 4). Weaver and Suffragette Overground services and National Rail services from Alexandra Palace add further links. The neighbourhood guides for Tottenham and Wood Green give more detail on stations and local streets. Haringey Council sets council tax across the borough.
