The Trinity Gardens Conservation Area is in the north-centre of the borough and covers a cluster of connected public gardens and green spaces in Wood Green, the significant buildings that face them and a couple of streets off them.

Defined principally by the openness of the chain of linked landscaped green spaces; Trinity Gardens, Nightingale Gardens and Crescent Gardens, alongside the main roads; Wood Green High Road and Bounds Green Road running north-south and east-west, these open spaces are enclosed by mostly nineteenth and early twentieth century two story houses, interspersed with larger religious, educational and institutional buildings. Whilst this is the character for the majority of the conservation area, it is contrasted by the residential streets to the east of Crescent Gardens; narrower, domestic scale and more enclosed.

Designation and Character Appraisal

The Trinity Gardens Conservation Area was first designated on 22 September 1978 and protected the heart of the area currently covered. It was extended on 21 June 1988 to include the streets east of the Civic Centre and on 11 February 2008 to include Park Avenue, a street to the south of Trinity Gardens.

On 11 February 2008 the Council approved and adopted a character appraisal for the Trinity Gardens Conservation Area. More details on the appraisal process, programme and purpose can be found on our Conservation Area Character Appraisals page (opens linked web page). The appraisal documents are available electronically in the table below.
