Overall, I really like living here. I love the sense of village/community that you get and I cannot stress enough how important this has been throughout COVID19 lockdown. I consider a huge perk having everything within walking distance and not needing to go Central. I would say the area is really trendy but relaxed, not too posh to the point that makes you feel uncomfortable. Loads of houses have gardens so pets are welcome I guess, and children have every facility they need. Crouch End feels really safe.
Transport
I would say the transport links is pretty good, although the closest tube, Finsbury Park, is around 30 mins walk (10’with a bus) I would say you can easily reach Central with buses, there’s a bus that take you from the heart of Crouch End all the way to Trafalgar Square! There is an overground which is very convenient as well, and Hornsey and Alexandra Palace train station are not too far either, making it good connections for travelling to airports and other station. There are quiet a few cycle routes, I have definitely seem improvement over the last years, as well as chargin stations for electric cars. As a young woman living alone I never had a problem with night buses nor with avoiding my any specific area, I feel very safe here.
Community
Parking availability is pretty good I heard from people who drive, bin collection is good (we’re getting better with recycling and we have asked for a food bin to the Council and got it delivered the same day). I would expect a 50-50 owners and renters but it is just a perspection. I would say very few students, mostly young couples snd people in their 30s.
Amenities
Crouch End is a very vibrant little villagey neighbourhood filled with creative and chill vibes. Super wide range of ethnic restaurants, charity shops and independent shops. You can find all kinds of food from Vietnamese, to Italian, Greek up to Indian including loads of vegan and plant options a stone’ thrown away from your house. The choice of supermarkets is great as well as cosy indie cafés for brunch or just the best coffee in town. There are beautiful parks, cinemas, a little theatre, churches, libraries, recording studios and everything you need within walking distance we no need to ever go Central London. This has honestly been an invaluable perk during lockdown.

N8 is very suitable for children, pets and anyone who likes to live in what feels like a village with an excellent community spirit. It has a very arty vibe too, with open house art events and community festivals and fairs taking place throughout the year.
Transport
There isnt a tube station, however Highgate (zone 3), Archway (zone 2) and Finsbury Park (zone 2) are all within 30 mins walk, or a bus ride away. The W7 and W3 bus routes run regularly during commuting hours to Finsbury Park, and take 10-15 mins. The weekends can be tricky as there are far fewer buses.
Community
My street is a mixture of young professionals renting in houseshares and families who own their homes, and have often been here for many years. It is on the W7 bus routes and has several shops on it so is well connected.
Amenities
The best thing about living in N8 is the amount of good quality independent shops, cafes and restaurants there are. There are several grocers, butchers, good quality coffee shops, quirky arty design shops, many great brunch spots, lots of decent old pubs with good grub and tons of restaurants. These are all quite medium-high end, however, so if you are on a budget and looking for Aldi/Lidl/Savers/Wilko/greasy spoons you wont find them here, but these are all a bus ride away. There are plenty of open spaces in the vicinity, from local parks like Priory Park and Stationers Park to Alexandra Palace park and Queens Wood and Highgate wood very nearby. This is very unusual for London! There is also the hidden 'Crouch End open space' which feels like pure countryside.

It is very quit area and my very close to the park close to play ground as well. Just love the area.
Amenities
There aren't many shops and restaurants and cafe around my area. There's on off licence shop and pizza hut. There's one Indian restaurant, they do only take way , but it is delicious the food. I wish they could open some nice cafe.
