A guide to living in Borough of Haringey

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

It works brilliantly for me, as Tottenham Hale station is just around the corner, with great links into the City and Stratford only 10 minutes away. There are plenty of good spots to eat and shops like Lidl, Tesco, Asda Express, and TK Maxx. The High Cross, a local pub, does the best steak I’ve ever had, while The Ferry Boat Inn serves traditional English food that you can eat out in the beer garden under the apple trees by the canal.

I’m genuinely impressed by how far this area has come in recent years. It’s undergone so much regeneration, with all the new developments making it a really attractive place for new tenants. I'm really looking forward to seeing more restaurants and high-end shops open here soon.

The development is really well located. It is less than a minute away from the train station, with a range of shops just across the road. There are some lovely coffee shops nearby - and, best of all, the Tottenham Wetlands are only a short walk away. And if that isn't enough, there are great connections into various different parts of central London.

The marketing literature says how impressive the Tottenham Wetlands are, but when you see them in person they are even more special. Such a large calm space with plenty of nature. A real treat, right on the doorstep.

Living here is a culture, food and nature lovers dream. You're spoiled for choice with incredible local coffee spots like Holy Grain and Dear Coco right nearby. For food, Seven Sisters Market is super close and serves amazing, authentic Latin American food and drinks, and we loved trying Chuku's for fantastic Nigerian tapas and Aunties restaurants. Plus, Little Turkey around Wood Green - the home of London's best Turkish restaurants, is just a short bus ride away. ​For quick errands, Tottenham Hale Retail Park handles all the basics, and the Walthamstow Wetlands are on your doorstep for fresh air and beautiful nature, lakes and rivers. Transport is unbeatable: having the Victoria Line and National Rail seconds away makes getting anywhere in London completely effortless. The immediate area is pedestrian friendly, clean, and well maintained.

Nothing to note at them moment everything we need to know was explained well when we arrived. The concierge was great when we had a few questions about the apartment and how to use things

The location is probably one of the best things about it, especially being so close to Tottenham Hale station – it’s basically on your doorstep! The Victoria line and National Rail services make it really quick and easy to get into central London, Stratford and towards Stansted Airport, plus there are plenty of buses nearby too. There’s a good selection of shops and supermarkets within walking distance, and more cafés and restaurants have been opening around Tottenham Hale which is nice. I also really like having the wetlands and green spaces so close by, as it gives you a nice break from the city without having to travel far. Another thing I’ve really appreciated is how safe I feel in the area. As a woman, this is something that’s important to me, especially when coming home later in the evening. The surroundings are well lit and there are usually people around because of the station and nearby developments, so I’ve personally felt comfortable walking around and coming home on my own. The area around Ferry Island feels modern and well looked after. It can get a little busy around the station and main roads at peak times, but that’s understandable considering how convenient the transport links are. Overall, everything I need is close by, I feel comfortable in the area and it feels like Tottenham Hale is only continuing to get better.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

They’ve been really quick and helpful with everything. Any questions or issues I’ve raised have been dealt with efficiently, and the staff are always approachable and happy to help. I genuinely don’t have anything negative to say about the building management so far!

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Honestly, there isn’t much I wish I had known beforehand as everything was explained really well from the beginning. The only thing I’d mention is to plan ahead if you have a car, as parking in the area can be limited. I was already aware of this, and the staff were really helpful in recommending nearby parking options.
