Property for sale in Haringey

In ancient times, what we now know as "Haringey" was made up of two large manors, Hornsey and Tottenham. In the Middle Ages, Tottenham's population consisted of 59 serfs, four slaves, two freemen and a priest. Many streets in Haringey bear the names of aristocrats from centuries long gone. Other local names, such as Wood Green, testify to the area’s past as woodland and countryside, some of which still survives in Haringey's parks. The Borough of Haringey was formed in 1965 from three former municipal boroughs and includes the following postal districts: N4, N6, N8, N10, N11, N15, N17, and N22. It’s worth noting that Harringay is an area within Haringey but the spelling difference is significant. Both names come from a Saxon Chief called Haering.
