Harringay

Harringay is a residential district in North London, with Green Lanes running through it to connect Finsbury Park and Duckett's Common. The street is lined with rows of Victorian terraced houses and shops that form the neighborhood's backbone.

The name comes from 1195, derived from Haering, a Saxon chief, meaning Haering's enclosure in Old English. The area later developed into a residential neighborhood with Victorian houses that still define the streets today.

Green Lanes holds many Turkish restaurants, bakeries, and shops that shape the everyday character of this neighborhood. This presence defines much of what you see and experience when walking through the area.

The area is well served by buses and nearby rail stations that connect to central London. Most places are walkable, especially along Green Lanes where shops and restaurants cluster together.

The Harringay Ladder displays an unusual pattern of parallel residential streets that cross Green Lanes. This street layout actually resembles a ladder when viewed from above.
