Everything you need within walking distance!

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.

Quite community near big Alexandria palace

I like that every is kind and respectful, and you get to see lots of dogs going to and from the park. I also like the farmers market that happens every Sunday ether in the park or school, it’s nice to go there to see it and buy some fresh food.

Transport

There’s only one train station near by Hornsey overground it’s a bit of a walk so normally I would take the bus for 2 stops to get there but it’s nice and clean there, there’s only 2 buses that go by 144 and w3 they go to various places. When I get to the bus stop I don’t normally wait more than five minutes till one comes.

Community

Bins collection come every week which is good. no violence happens on the road. It’s very quite as not very close to high street only noise we get is when festivals nosies echo down from Alexandria palace. Mostly family’s and couples live on the road and opposite is elderly people

Amenities

I’v lived in this area for 20 years and growing up here has been great. Iv seen a lot of changes in the area. My favourite part about living here is the 5 minute walk to Alexandria place, during week days it’s very quite and peaceful. On the high road there’s is some good cafes such as green garden cafe, the new tea and hatters and bloomers. The new Sainsbury’s and Argos have been really great addition to the area making my shopping easier to get. The only actual problem I have living in this area is the parking, as living in flats there is not enough parking for anyone and sometimes takes a while till I find somewhere both the neighbours and people around are nice and kind to each other.

Community

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.

It can be dusty as there can still be a lot of traffic, especially in rush hours.
