I wondered about Haringey and Harringay too - and I'm a Nrothrener so completely illiterate with no knowledge of the S**th.

Yeah, I don't really care either ;-)

Once you get inside the M25 it's all just urban splurge anyway...

[Mary Fisher]

It's a long time since I did that, it's something to avoid :-(

But some live there and like it so who are we to judge?

That's Tottenham regardless of the post people. It's also in the LB of Haringey.

[Ed Sirett]

Also much of Highgate, Muswell Hill, Crouch End, Wood Green, Bounds Green, Finsbury Park and The last 1/3 of my garden.

They borough is spelt Haringey. The area south of Wood Green and North Of Finsburg Park is Harringay.

[Ed Sirett]

That's not a really really bad area. There must be some really big reason for a basic bedsitting flat being less than 100k.

[Ed Sirett]

N22 is Wood Green, N17 is Tottenham, N15 is South Tottenham.

The N post codes are alphabetical from N1 (Angel) Islington to N22 Wood Green.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember Ed Sirett saying something like:

"Just got back from 'Nam"

You may know that,

but someone who doesn't know the area has to go by what the postal address is, they have no other way of telling

Ok you got me on that one If the Broadwater farm est area is only rated as bad, I cant think anywhere else in London which could be called a "Really Really" bad area.

Sale is By Order of a housing association, so yes odd.

Firstly, Broadwater Farm has improved a bit in the last 27 years.

Why not use upmystreet.com to find out about a particular area.

Which gives a profile better than I expected for N17 6TH

A not so good area quite nearby might be Here is an overview of the likely preferences and features of your neighbourhood: Family income Low Interest in current affairs Very high Housing - with mortgage Very low Educated - to degree Medium Couples with children Medium Have satellite TV Low

which is the profile for a part of Broadwater Farm Estate

That accounts for the weird price, the HA wants to sell it presumably as part of a repo deal? Shared equity scheme?

Normally 1 bed flats go for about £140k and falling bedsits perhaps about 100k and falling.

[Ed Sirett]

A post code can be put into Streetmap.co.uk or Google Earth... to see where it is.

We still hold a few commercial freeholds in/around The High St, N17. In fact quite a large area around what is now Broadwater Farm and Peabody Est was built by my Great Grandfather's firm in conjunction with British Land.
