If you're unsure if Harringay is for you, read on and find out what you are or will be missing. Harringay is located in North London as part of the London Borough of Harringay. It is centred on Green Lanes, with Finsbury Park in the north and Ducketts Common to the south. The Great Northern Railway lies to the west. The name Harringay probably comes from the Saxon period and was most likely a person's name. It evolved from Harenhg to Haringesheye, then to Haryngeay to Haringey before eventually becoming Harringay around 1569.
Way back in the Ice Age the area was nothing more than a huge glacial mass and there are indications that there was activity in the area during the Stone and Bronze Ages. The area was invaded by the Saxons throughout the 5th and 6th centuries and one of their chieftains was the one who gave the area its name. In the Domesday book the area was recorded as belonging to the Bishop of London and Waltheof II. From this point up to the 17th century Harringay went from a forested area to a rural one, with few inhabitants.
By 1750 the entire region was almost completely agricultural land with few buildings. Then over the following 130 years development began with houses and parklands being created. Harringay House was constructed around this time and near Green Lanes a kiln and pottery was developed. From 1750 onwards Harringay has been a hot spot for entertainment and fun. Copt Hall was a popular tavern which was eventually demolished and replaced with a private leisure park, with included a lake for rowing and fishing. This place was also very popular, with cricket, shooting, rowing and more taking place here. The area was eventually replaced by Finsbury Park in 1869 and around this time Alexandra Palace was opened.
The area was still quite spare until the railways were opened. Victorian urbanisation began to take over and Harringay spread outwards. Sport started to become a major feature of the area with Harringay Stadium opening in 1927 and Harringay Arena. Many things from ice hockey, greyhound racing, boxing, classical music events and the famous Horse of the Year show took place here. Harringay started to take shape as immigrants moved here after the Second World War, bringing a diverse atmosphere to the area. Around this time Majestic Wine, one of the most famous wine stores in the UK opened. Harringay proudly boasts that 22.5% of it is open space, with Finsbury Park, Railway Fields (winner of the prestigious Green Flag award), Ducketts Common and an prize winning community garden in Doncaster Gardens.
The area has been filmed several times of the years for film and television most notably in Richard Attenborough's Oscar winning film Chaplin. Noteworthy people who have been born or lived in the area include artists Steve Cox and Nicola Green, writers Madeleine Dring, Vivienne Haigh-Wood Eliot, Jonathan Elphick, actors Ron Moody and Barbara Windsor as well as many MPs, activists and sportspeople.

Local geography can make a difference, especially around busy routes. When we plan Harringay removals, we consider typical access points and unloading conditions near places customers recognise.
For example, we often factor in practicalities around Green Lanes and the wider local street layout near Finsbury Park. If your move involves loading near a busy junction, a nearby shopping parade, or a property with limited parking, we'll advise on the best collection time.
We also commonly plan for ground-floor entries and stair runs similar to what you'd see around Tottenham Hale and the wider Haringey area. That means we arrive with the right protection, the right crew size, and a loading approach that reduces risk.
If you can, tell us what you'll be parking by (or share a photo) so we can prepare properly.

Because Eco rating: 99% of packing materials and transport methods are eco-friendly and low-emission, we use materials designed to be reused where safe--like sturdy eco packing boxes for returnable packing sets.
When you book, tell us what you want to keep, donate, or recycle, and we'll guide you on the easiest next step. That way, your move stays practical even after the last box is in.

If you tell us your move date and whether you need packing and storage, we can also share what customers in similar areas said about turnaround and access planning.
We offer both, depending on what you need. Some customers just want a man and van style service for furniture transport--like moving a sofa, a few boxes, or a single item between Harringay and nearby neighbourhoods.
For larger house moves, we'll switch to full removals with protective blankets, secure strapping, and professional packing. Storage can also be added if you need time to coordinate completion or refurbishment.
That flexibility is useful when you're relocating from places like stations and busy areas around the borough, where you may only need one or two key collections. If you're not sure which option fits, describe what you're moving and the access details, and we'll recommend the most cost-effective approach.
Book your move today and we'll confirm whether a quick man and van load or a full service plan is the right fit.
