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 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 of more than 11 square miles (28.5 km2). The local authority is Haringey London Borough Council.
As outlined by population estimates in the middle of 2014, Haringey includes a permanent population of about 267541 people. There are about 97101 properties in Haringey. Just over 55 per cent of residents in Haringey reside in flats, apartments or maisonettes. The borough is characterised by some extreme contrasts. Locations within the west, such as Highgate, Muswell Hill and Crouch End are amongst the most prosperous in the nation. 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. In 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 alongside the River Lea in the east. Some of the more familiar local landmarks consist of Alexandra Palace, Bruce Castle, Jacksons Lane, Highpoint I and II, and Tottenham Hotspur Football Club.
