Hermitage & Gardens
Haringey, London
PocketsHarringay East (Stonebridge Brook · Green Lanes)Harringay Ladder SouthHarringay Warehouse District & Vartry
Hermitage and Gardens is the Harringay-Green Lanes ward on the east side of Haringey, a late-Victorian grid of Ladder streets pressed against the Great Northern line and the Piccadilly line. The whole ward sits inside a conservation area. The one listed building is the Grade II* Salisbury Public House on Grand Parade, designed by John Cathles Hill in French Renaissance style in 1899 and long considered one of London's most complete late-Victorian pub interiors. Seventeen Ofsted outstanding rated schools fall within reach and transport is reasonable, with Manor House on the Piccadilly line and Harringay Green Lanes on the Overground. The food and retail offer along Green Lanes carries the Turkish-Cypriot anchor restaurants that have shaped the strip since the 1970s, with 82 non-food outlets. The downsides are measurable. Crime sits below the London median on Green Lanes, air quality is dragged down by the A105 traffic, and green space runs to under one hectare across the ward.
