Harringay Green Lanes is a vibrant
collection of independent shops, restaurants, cafes and Victorian
pubs stretching along the main Green Lanes trunk road from
the edge of Finsbury Park to Duckett's Common. Built towards
the end of the 19th Century, there is amazing Victorian façades
on Grand Parade, and grand public houses like The Salisbury,
Queen's Head and The Beaconsfield (named after Benjamin Disraeli).
There are over 200 individual shops right here in Green Lanes.
Many are family run businesses for a number of years, like
Disney's; a third generation furnishings business considered
to be the oldest in North London.
The original landmark 'Harringay Arena' was knocked down in
the 80's to make way for the superstores, this now houses
the Arena Shopping Park, where you will find your favourite
high street stores with ample free parking.
Much of the main high street now offers 'Pay & Display'
parking for shoppers using the area. With good access to London's
bus routes (29, 341, 141, W5) and the Piccadilly line running
through Green Lanes with stations on either end (Manor House
and Turnpike Lane), and a convenient over ground station (Harringay
Green Lanes), giving Green Lanes fantastic accessibility.
Surrounded by green spaces (Finsbury Park, Railway Fields,
Duckett's Common and Chestnut Park) on all sides, and there's
a hidden gem called the Harringay Passage which runs along
the length of the Ladder roads giving access all the way to
Turnpike Lane.
Harringay is practical too, with many schools (North and South
Harringay and Woodlands Park), health centres, hospital and
ample supply of doctors and dentists.
