Haringey can be a good place to live, especially if you like being in a dynamic, diverse area that balances access to nature with urban life.

What people like about Haringey

  • Green spaces
    Haringey has a lot: many parks, ancient woodlands, and large green areas. Examples include Alexandra Park, Finsbury Park, Highgate Wood, and Lee Valley Park.
    These offer good places for walking, relaxing, sports, etc.

  • Good transport connections
    There are quite a few Underground, Overground, National Rail and bus connections in different parts. That means relatively easy commuting to central London.

  • Cultural diversity & community feel
    Haringey is very multicultural; there are vibrant local communities, food scenes, markets, independent shops etc.

  • Variety of housing options and neighbourhoods
    You can find more “quiet, leafy, suburban-feel” areas (e.g. Highgate, Muswell Hill, parts of Crouch End) as well as more urban, busy or less affluent areas.

  • Amenities and leisure
    Good shopping areas, cafés, restaurants, nightlife (in some areas), theatres and cultural venues, plus local community events.
