Turnpike Lane, London N8, is the name of a shopping street locality in the borough of Haringey in London, England. Londoners also refer to the area surrounding Turnpike Lane tube station as 'Turnpike Lane'.

Turnpike Lane runs less than 1km from Hornsey railway station to Turnpike Lane Tube station and the junction with Green Lanes. It gives the impression of being on the 'wrong side of the tracks' merely becuae the railway line at Hornsey forms a barrier between the affluent, middle-class areas of Crouch End, Muswell Hill and Alexandra Park from the less wealthy areas of Turnpike Lane and Tottenham.

By day, Turnpike Lane is a congested, busy shopping street. Highly competitive Indan owned shops compete aggressively with each other, and open until very late at night. Foods from all over the world, but particularly India can be bought at very discounted prices.
