Geography

Crouch End is in a valley between Crouch Hill and Highgate to the south and west, and Muswell Hill and Alexandra Park to the north.

Living in Crouch End

It is seen by many as a desirable area to live in and has a pleasant town centre with shops and (especially) restaurants in profusion. It is on many bus routes, and though it has no Tube station of its own it is not too far from Highgate Tube, and from Hornsey and Crouch Hill railway stations. It also has very good bus links to Finsbury Park tube.

Notable Buildings

A red-brick clock-tower dominates the north end of Crouch End Broadway. Its stone placard reads:

"ERECTED BY SUSBSCRIPTION

IN APPRECIATION AND RECOGNITION

OF THE PUBLIC SERVICES RENDERED BY

HENRY READER WILLIAMS ESQ JP

TO THE DISTRICT OF HORNSEY

DURING A PERIOD OF TWENTY FIVE YEARS

JUNE 1895"

Henry Williams was a local wine-merchant who lead the campaign to preserve Highgate Woods against threatened development.

Among its more prominent buildings is Hornsey Town Hall, formerly the headquarters of the Hornsey district council, which governed the area until the creation of the larger Haringey Council.
