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 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.
According to population estimates from the middle of 2014, Haringey features a permanent population of about 267541 individuals. There are about 97101 houses in Haringey. Of these, 46 per cent are owner occupied. The borough is characterised by some intense contrasts. Places within the west, like Highgate, Muswell Hill and Crouch End are amongst the most prosperous in the nation. Within the east of the borough, however, some wards are classified as being amongst the most deprived 10 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. A few of the more familiar local landmarks include Alexandra Palace, Bruce Castle, Jacksons Lane, Highpoint I and II, and Tottenham Hotspur Football Club.
