Area guide
Living in Tottenham
Tottenham is in the east of the London Borough of Haringey and covers the N15 and N17 postcode districts, running along the High Road from Seven Sisters in the south to Northumberland Park and White Hart Lane in the north. Its historic centre is the old manor around Bruce Castle, whose Grade I listed Tudor tower dates from 1514 and which now houses Haringey's museum and archive. Tottenham Hale and the Lee Valley marshes lie on its eastern side.
Most of the area was built up in the late nineteenth century. The council's conservation area appraisals say the Liverpool Street to Edmonton railway branch opened in 1872 with reduced workmen's fares and set off a building boom of terraced housing for lower-middle-class and skilled working-class households. Earlier buildings survive in places, including the Georgian villas and terraces of Bruce Grove, and there are planned estates such as the London County Council's Tower Gardens estate, built in phases from 1903, and the Peabody Cottages. Tottenham Hotspur moved to its present site in 1913.
Tottenham Hale and Seven Sisters are both Zone 3 stations on the Victoria line, which runs between Walthamstow Central and Brixton via King's Cross St Pancras, Oxford Circus and Victoria. Seven Sisters, Bruce Grove and White Hart Lane are on the Weaver line to Liverpool Street, and South Tottenham is on the Suffragette line. Tottenham Hale and Northumberland Park also have National Rail services, with Greater Anglia managing the stations. Council tax is set by Haringey Council.

A little history
Tottenham grew around the manor of Bruce Castle, whose Tudor tower was built in 1514. The council's appraisals date the main building boom along the High Road to the opening of the Liverpool Street to Edmonton railway branch in 1872, and record that Tottenham Hotspur moved to its present site in 1913.
