Advantages: loaaaaads to do, friendly atmosphere

Disadvantages: what disadvantages??

Firstly, yes I do live in Crouch End and do not claim to be in the least bit unbiased. BUT having lived here my whole life, surely I have a valuble outlook?



The best bit about C.E are the restaurants. Many a trepid explorer has died in the quest to find out just how many restaurants there are altogether. I challenge you to name but one nationality not covered in and around C>E

For Indian restaurants go to Tottenham Lane, the bit nearest the broadway. There's The Shamrat and The Belash to name but a few. All very good.
For Malaysian head for Satay Malaysia on Crouch End Hill, only a few doors up from the broadway.
There's a turkish restaurant on tottenham lane, just before soup dragon.
For Italian there's pizza express on Crouch End Hill, or Pizza Bella right in the broadway opposite the clocktower.
For chinese there's the Dragon just a few doors down from Pizza Bella
There's a lovely French restaurant called Floriens but its very expensive. Gorgeous though. It's on the beginning of tottenham lane.
There's a Greek restaurant on the corner of Weston Park, owned by the lottery winner. It's great but the tables are too close together in my opinion.
An Australian restaurant is situated out of the broadway on Park Lane, opposite Cranley Gardens.

I name but a few!

Parks- we have two main ones which are Stationers Park and Priory Park. Stationers has one entrance on Mayfield Road and another on Uplands Road, which are parallel to each other. They link Ridge Road to Tottenham Lane. Priory Park is much bigger and has a paddling pool, playground and far more grass area. It also has tennis courts. Stationers has bigger playgrounds and lies on an hill but isn't as spacious.

Pubs- The Maynard Arms on Park Road, The Kings Head in the Broadway. Bars are a plenty and you can't move without finding one. Your best bet is to head down Park Road or go to a new
one quiet grand looking on tottenham lane.

Swimming Pool- Park Road Pool on, yep, Park road. It has a lido, kids pool, lane pool, and diving pool.

Crouch End is a great place to grow up due to the great sense of community around, which is unusual for it's position in London. It's not the easiest place to get to but once you're there it's great. It's in desperate need of a tube station, even though it's only a five minute bus journey (W7 or W3) to Finsbury Park Station or a 15 minute walk to Highgate station. There are plans to open up a Big Cinema complex right in the centre. Developers have acknoledged its promising position and atmosphere.

pay it a visit!
