Hidden gem in north London

This part of Harringay is definitely going through a huge gentrification moment. I've been living around here for over 5 years and it's constantly changing. I don't mind that, but I do hope it doesn't change the overall feeling and style of the community! I would love to see more trees around and calmer traffic at the main road (difficult!), but overall I really like it here!

Transport

There are a few bus lines (including night bus) that run quite often. You can also reach national rail, overground and tube stations very easily (walking distance).

Community

I live at a residential road near Green Lanes and it's mostly quiet, even though it's close to the main road. Sometimes drivers cutting through to skip traffic there can cause a bit of noise and disruption, but it doesn't happen daily. Parking is a bit complicated: both public and residential parking slots are constantly full, so you gotta be smart to find a place, but during lockdown it has been a bit quieter, which shows the issue is usually with other people parking around the residential areas. I hear about anti-social behaviour issues in Harringay from time to time, but I personally never had any problems here. Recycling and waste collection is done by Veolia in behalf of the council.

Amenities

This part of Green Lanes is full of restaurants (specially Turkish) and cafes, so you never go hungry! There are a couple of nice local bars for wine and cocktails too, and the retail options are good enough to find almost everything you need without having to commute to Central. The traffic can be a bit crazy though, but if you like to walk, you'll be fine, and there are good public transport options too (few buses and trains - national rail, overground and tube are all walking distance). I wish there were more trees in the main road (Green Lanes), but the residential roads around are a bit greener, and there are a few parks nearby too. The neighbourhood is friendly and, during Covid, people have been helping each other, which is really nice to see.

The perfect balance between town and city

It’s a well maintained area that feels more like a village or town than a city. You could happily spend your weekends, days here and never visit the city centre. You have access to all the amenities you need locally as well as close proximity to parks for exercise. My only complaint would be that the prices to buy are quite high!

Transport

Close proximity to Finsbury Park station which is well connected to central London. There is the overground at crouch hill which is easy to take you across to Hampstead Heath. The mainline trains running through Haringey can provide a speedy connection to Finsbury Park or even into Moorgate, or the buses are regular and rarely too busy, with the exception of peak rush hour.

Community

Excellent street - regular bin collections and rarely see litter. Very considerate neighbours made up of families and young professionals. As well as some older couples who have lived here for a longtime. Very quiet street at night, uncommon to here sirens or alarms.

Amenities

Wonderful area to live with quiet roads, leafy streets, close access to Finsbury Park and nature walks. Great range of shops and restaurants along Stroud green road or in crouch end to suit a range budgets. I’ve never had to walk more than 20 minutes to pick up an item I need, even some of the more obscure! There is a real community feel to the area, it is welcoming to all ages, from young professionals to families to retirees. I hope to continue living here for many years - honestly couldn’t recommend it enough.

Great potential not enough policing

The mall and the underground service I like the think I hate are the disgusting people on the street from thieves and drug dealers

Transport

Very good Turnpike Lane good to the city bus are ridiculously slow to be so close to the city no cycling lanes and traffic is dangerous must be 20miles all over London

Community

Good parking not very busy bin collection decent average streets are not clean though anti social behaviour is thru the roof disgusting more police should be involved

Amenities

Well 25 minutes from Alexandria palace one of the most beautiful view of London Turnpike Lane and Wood Green high street area need way more policing. Turnpike Lane park need more policing and all surrounding area east from N8 things gets better towards seven sisters and south towards Finsbury Park. No cycling Lane towards Manor House very dangerous traffic if you are a cyclists and commute from N8 missing cycling routes too much traffic no 20miles not enough policing Wood Green Turnpike Lane has great potential because you have everything but it’s as I said left rotten
