Tottenham Tales

Hartington Park, thanks to community action and solidarity, went from demolition site to cherished green space for residents.

From the first history of Tottenham, to groundbreaking Arabic scholarship, stunning artwork and even a local ‘witch’ – All Hallows is the original parish church for Tottenham and has seen it all.

Thanks to local regeneration projects, the historic features on this stretch of the High Road have been restored to their former glory!

West Green Road’s draw to creatives and artists can be traced back to the 19th century and through to us today. As a place, West Green Road has been an area and community where its cultural identity and heritage has captured imaginations and inspired – from setting up creative businesses and homes, to influencing creative responses through writing, films, murals, storytelling, photography, art and music, and giving people their own sense of agency.

This street has witnessed many important innovators who, rooted in their communities, led the way and succeeded in building some of the most successful black enterprises in this country.
