Harringay is a compact, densely populated ward in north London within the London Borough of Haringey, centred on the long, bustling parade of shops along Green Lanes. The area is known for its distinctive "Harringay Ladder" of parallel Victorian streets squeezed between railway lines, and it benefits from good public transport with Harringay Green Lanes Overground and nearby suburban rail stations and frequent bus routes, with Finsbury Park and other green spaces close by.
Locally the ward has a strong small‑business and dining scene - Green Lanes is famous for Turkish and Kurdish bakeries, cafes and restaurants - alongside traditional pubs and independent shops. Historically it hosted the now‑demolished Harringay Stadium and Harringay Arena, and today the neighbourhood combines Victorian housing with a diverse, changing population and active community groups campaigning on local planning, transport and amenity issues.
