Roman road, this invigorating
promenade still buzzes with the sounds
and sights of an incredible variety of
cultures spilling out of the many
independent shops and into the street
to discuss the issues of the day.
One hot topic – reflected in the white
and blue exteriors of many shops and
pubs – is Tottenham Hotspur Football
Club. The Premier League club has
made the High Road its home and work
is underway to lay the foundations for
a stunning new 61,000 seat stadium,
which will make it the capital’s biggest
club football venue.
With the local community at the heart of
the development, the scheme will bring
new homes, schools and museums
to complement the already open
supermarket and the state-of-the-art
University Technical College, officially
opened by Sir Alan Sugar in March.
Boasting superb transport links,
Tottenham High Road is one of the best
connected, vibrant and happening areas
in north London.
Wood Green
Well known as one of London’s busiest
shopping districts, Wood Green is home
to the Mall shopping centre and a
packed high street boasting some of
the biggest names in fashion alongside
a great array of independent stores.
Recent improvements have brought
a brighter environment with wider
pavements, new benches and trees
to allow people to take a breather and
watch the world go by.
Throw into the mix two cinemas, a
range of pubs and restaurants, the up-
and-coming cultural quarter – home to
artists’ studios the Chocolate Factory –
quirky independents such as the Big
Green Bookshop and a great sense of
community amongst local residents,
and you have the ingredients for one
of Haringey’s most bustling areas.
Green Lanes
Green Lanes has a richly deserved
reputation as one of the most culturally
diverse areas in the whole of London,
a characteristic that is manifested in its
truly global cuisine.
THE place for world food, Green Lanes’
restaurant, bar and café culture brings
a unique atmosphere on a par with
some of Europe’s liveliest town centres
– with the very best in Mediterranean
flavours, from Greek to Turkish and
Spanish to Italian.
Green Lanes is also flanked by the
Harringay Ladder, arguably one of the
borough’s most community-minded
neighbourhoods with active residents’
groups and fantastic local schools
contributing to a great family
atmosphere.
Myddleton Road
Seeming at first glance like something
of a “new kid on the block”, Myddleton
Road is in fact one of Haringey’s most
heritage-rich town centres. The recent
restoration of historic shop fronts has
breathed new life into this popular area,
while the hugely popular The Step bar
and restaurant has fast become the hub
of the community.
Myddleton Road and the surrounding
area also teems with tremendous spirit,
with regular street parties, markets
and activities strengthening the sense
of community.
