Bounds Green
Haringey, London
PocketsBounds Green (Muswell Stream · Avenue Gardens · Tunnel Gardens)Bowes Park
Bounds Green sits on the Haringey–Enfield border, around Bounds Green tube and running up toward the North Circular. The whole ward is within a conservation area, with an Edwardian grain of red-brick terraces and mansion blocks along the Piccadilly line alignment. Four Grade II listed buildings include Braemar Avenue Baptist Chapel, The Starting Gate Public House and the obelisk memorial drinking fountain. Public transport is very good via Bounds Green tube on the Piccadilly line, seventeen outstanding schools lie within reach, and food and drink provision along Myddleton Road and Bounds Green Road is reliably local. Green cover is modest at twelve hectares, with Avenue Gardens the main named park. The drawbacks: air quality sits only in the middling band thanks to the A406 North Circular cutting the southern edge; safety readings sit below the London average; and green cover is thin relative to the density.
