North London

North London is a subregion in Greater London, England, covering the northern boroughs of the capital and including residential streets, shopping districts, and parks. The area stretches from densely built neighborhoods near the center outward to zones with more open space and tree-lined avenues.

Settlement expanded from the mid-1800s onward as new railway lines made it easier to reach the city center and housing developments appeared across the area. Many streets and squares date from that period and still shape the local appearance today.

Multiple communities from different backgrounds contribute to North London's character through neighborhood festivals, international restaurants, and local markets across its districts.

Tube lines and buses link the neighborhoods with each other and provide connections to the center and neighboring boroughs. Pedestrians find sidewalks and crossings on many streets that make moving around easier.

Alexandra Palace offers a wide view over the city from its terrace and hosts concerts, exhibitions, and sports events throughout the year. The building stands on a hill and can be seen from many parts of the northern area.
