Muswell Hill and Highgate 4.10. Area 6: Muswell Hill and Highgate This western area of the borough includes Alexandra Palace, Fortis Green, Muswell Hill and Highgate. These areas have a largely residential character but are home to a number of lively town centres and elegant shopping parades, as well as some of Haringey’s best natural and cultural assets, including Alexandra Palace. The Highgate Neighbourhood Plan was made (adopted) by the Council in July 2017 and forms part of the borough’s statutory Development Plan. The Plan, prepared by the Highgate Neighbourhood Forum, sets out the Forum’s vision for Highgate to 2031 and contains core objectives relating to social and community needs, economic activity, traffic and transport, open spaces and public realm and development and heritage. The Council will have regard to these when preparing the New Local Plan.

  • Traffic Noise Maps of Public Parks in Haringey May 2018
    Traffic noise maps of public parks in Haringey May 2018 This document shows traffic noise maps for parks in the borough. The noise maps are taken from http://www.extrium.co.uk/noiseviewer.html. Occasionally, google earth or google map images are included to help the reader identify where the park is located. Similar documents are available for all London Boroughs. These were created as part of research into the impact of traffic noise in London’s parks. They should be read in conjunction with the main report and data analysis which are available at http://www.cprelondon.org.uk/resources/item/2390-noiseinparks. The key to the traffic noise maps is shown here to the right. Orange denotes noise of 55 decibels (dB). Louder noises are denoted by reds and blues with dark blue showing the loudest. Where the maps appear with no colour and are just grey, this means there is no traffic noise of 55dB or above. London Borough of Haringey 1 1. Albert Road Recreation Ground 2.

    Follow the Kinks through the dark alleyways and passages of L O N D O N If you don’t have enough time to attempt The Great North London Kinks Tour, you might like to take in at least a few of the major Kinks locations in and around Muswell Hill, as described on the Jim Smart / Geoff Lewis Big Black Smoke site. Much of the research which has led to this route was carried out by Peter Ølgaard, Olga Ruocco and Jayne Morgan. Wherever you are starting from, get onto the Northern Line of the underground, and travel to Archway. Walk across to the Archway Tavern (22). Sadly it is not a proper pub any more, so no longer suitable for a quick drink to get your tour started Take a number 134 bus to Muswell Hill Broadway (8).On a clear fresh morning, Peter recommends the attractive ride up Muswell Hill Road. Ray Davies mentions in “X-Ray” riding the 134 down to Leicester Square, although nowadays the route only runs as far as Tottenham Court Road. Walk along Fortis Green (or take a 102 bus). You will pass Midhurst Avenue, where Ray and Rasa had their second home (anyone know which number?) After a while you will come to Denmark Terrace. Number 6 was the Davies family home (13). Directly opposite is the wonderful Clissold Arms (12). Have a few more beers and look at the Kinks exhibits on display there. Remember that time is tight - you may have trouble tearing yourself away. Continuing along Fortis Green, you see number 87, which was Ray and Rasa's third home (14).
