Tottenham and Haringey Area Guide

Transport links

Tottenham is home to two tube stations, Seven Sisters and Tottenham Hale, both on the Victoria Line, allowing you to reach Oxford Circus in just 15 minutes.

There are also six National Rail stations, Seven Sisters, White Hart Lane, Tottenham Hale, Bruce Grove, Northumberland Park and South Tottenham. Liverpool Street can be reached in quarter of an hour, and Stansted in just 40 minutes.

Shopping, eating and drinking

Tottenham High Street has a vibrant, colourful feel, with an eclectic range of shops and restaurants.

For big brand names, head to the Tottenham Hale Retail Outlet, where you’ll find the likes of Next, Boots and TKMaxx.

If you fancy eating out, Banana African Restaurant & Bar is a favourite among locals, serving authentic African cuisine and holding regular events and music nights. Chick-King, a few minutes away from White Hart Lane has queues outside of the door on match days. The Beehive Pub is great for families, with good food and friendly staff. For a craft-beer experience, head to the popular Beavertown Brewery.

Things to do

There’s a surprising amount of green space in Tottenham. Downhills Park, Lordship Rec and Chestnuts Park are all ideal if you need to relax and switch off from city life. The River Lea is a great place to walk or jog, or head to Tottenham Marshes for some fresh air. The area also hosts the state-of-the-art Lee Valley Athletics Centre, the largest in the South of England.

A pleasant afternoon can also be spent at the Bruce Castle Museum, a Grade I listed 16th century manor house set in 20 acres of parkland. You’ll find the Borough of Haringey's local history collections, archives and art exhibitions, plus regular historical and arts events.

Of course, central to the identity of Tottenham is Tottenham Hotspur Football Club. Work has begun on the new 61,000-seater stadium, with the development expected to provide a major boost to the local economy. Not just a stadium, the new Stadium Scheme will create 585 new homes and jobs alongside visitor attractions.

The Tottenham Experience will fully restore and bring back into use the Grade II listed Warmington House. There will be a Museum of Tottenham Heritage, allowing people to access historic archives, collections and stories about the local area. An interactive Club Museum will use interpretive media to tell the Club’s history. Kinetic motion-sensor Skills Booths will allow visitors to test their skills against key players past and present and to re-create memorable moments from the historic archives. An immersive Cinema will be a venue for local community events.

For thrill seekers, the Sky Walk will allow visitors to climb the exterior of the stadium. There will also be an Extreme Sports centre offering a climbing wall and other high performance activities.

Homes will be arranged around a public square and landscaped outdoor garden areas, including a children’s playground, outdoor gym and an NHS Health Centre.
