Haringey
The London Borough of Haringey is a London borough in North London, classified by some definitions as part of Inner London, and by others as part of Outer London. It was created in 1965 by the amalgamation of three former boroughs. It shares borders with six other London boroughs. Clockwise from the north, they are: Enfield, Waltham Forest, Hackney, Islington, Camden, and Barnet. Haringey covers an area in excess of 11 square miles (28.5 km2). The local authority is Haringey London Borough Council.
Based on population estimates from the middle of 2014, Haringey includes a permanent population of about 267541 inhabitants. There are roughly 97101 houses in Haringey. Just over 55 per cent of residents in Haringey live in flats, apartments or maisonettes. The borough is characterised by some extreme contrasts. Areas within the west, like Highgate, Muswell Hill and Crouch End are among the most prosperous in the country. In the east of the borough, however, some wards are classified as being among the most deprived 10 per cent in the country.
Haringey is also a borough of contrasts geographically. The borough contains big areas of green space, which make up more than 25 per cent of its total area. Some of the more familiar local landmarks consist of Alexandra Palace, Bruce Castle, Jacksons Lane, Highpoint I and II, and Tottenham Hotspur Football Club.
