Tottenham Tales

A night on the tiles, a trip to the cinema, or perhaps dancing into the early hours? The history of entertainment on Bruce Grove is a colourful one, still traceable in the buildings you see here today.

Suffragettes, LGBTQIA+ icons and more; this small pocket of Tottenham holds some surprisingly radical stories.

The Antwerp Arms is a hub for the local community, proudly looking over the 20 acres of historic parkland that surrounds Bruce Castle.

Tottenham Green has been a hotbed of pioneers and changemakers. In the past 100 years, it has continued its radical legacy and helped transform the political landscape of Tottenham and beyond.

Once the site of Tottenham’s best night out, the Palace’s stunning architecture stands proud on the High Road. Next door there used to be a roller-skating rink, later a dancehall and cinema.

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