Harringay Stadium, Former sports venue in London, United Kingdom
Harringay Stadium was a sports venue in Harringay, north London, that hosted greyhound racing and speedway. It featured a large grandstand and a grass track, and was a well-known local landmark before its closure.
Harringay Stadium opened in 1927 and became a popular venue for greyhound racing and speedway. It closed in 1987 and was later demolished, with the site redeveloped for retail.
The stadium was a social hub for the local community, where people gathered for race nights and other events. Today, the name lives on in the surrounding streets and in local memory.
The site is now a retail park, so there is no stadium to visit, but you can still see the area and nearby streets. The location is easily reached by bus or train, and the retail park has parking and shops.
The stadium once had a capacity of over 70,000 spectators, making it one of the largest in London. Its speedway team, the Harringay Racers, drew large crowds in the 1930s and 1940s.
