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 a part of Outer London. It was established in 1965 by the amalgamation of 3 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.
According to population estimates from the middle of 2014, Haringey includes a permanent population of around 267541 inhabitants. There are roughly 97101 houses in Haringey. Of these, 46 per cent are owner occupied. The borough is characterised by some intense contrasts. Locations in 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 amongst the most deprived ten per cent inside the country.
Haringey is also a borough of contrasts geographically. From the wooded high ground around Highgate and Muswell Hill, at 426.5 feet (130.0 m), the land falls sharply away to the flat, open low-lying land beside the River Lea in the east. Some of the more familiar nearby landmarks consist of Alexandra Palace, Bruce Castle, Jacksons Lane, Highpoint I and II, and Tottenham Hotspur Football Club.
