Places to visit

Haringey has a wealth of interesting places to visit. Local landmarks include Alexandra Palace - the birthplace of television, with its surrounding unspoilt parkland for long walks and activities - and historic Bruce Castle Museum - a Grade I listed 16th Century manor house in 20 acres of parkland.

If you are interested in taking time out after a busy day, Haringey offers plenty in the way of entertainment through its pubs, clubs, cinemas, theatres and galleries.

Haringey is also a shopper's delight, with Shopping City in Wood Green and the boutiques, art and book shops in Crouch End and Muswell Hill offering a tempting selection of treats.

If greenery is more your style you can visit one of our Green Flag Award-winning parks, or visit Palm House, a greenhouse with tropical plants, water displays and animals at Wolves Lane Horticultural Nursery. Lee Valley Regional Park (external link) is also worth a visit. It's London's biggest open space, stretching 26 miles along the leafy banks of the River Lee and offering heritage sites, country parks, farms and more.
