Haringay is centred on the section of Green Lanes running between the northern boundary of Finsbury Park up to the southern boundary of Duckett's Common, not far from Turnpike Lane, in the London Borough of Haringey.
The London Borough of Haringey shares borders with six other London boroughs: Enfield, Waltham Forest, Hackney, Islington, Camden, and Barnet.
In 1965, the borough was founded, from the former Municipal Borough of Hornsey, the Municipal Borough of Wood Green and the Municipal Borough of Tottenham which had all previously been part of Middlesex.
Areas in the west, such as Highgate, Muswell Hill and Crouch End are among the most prosperous in the country
