Why not explore the nearby areas of Muswell Hill, Crouch End, Highgate, Hornsey, Bounds Green, Archway, Wood Green, Harringay, Dartmouth Park and Friern Barnet

"The tradition of "Swearing on the Horns" originated in the pubs around Highgate and involved swearing under 'oath' the commitment to the merriment and debauchery that would ensue, followed by the kissing of a pair of animal horns or a pretty woman."

In the centre of Crouch End is its Clock Tower, erected in memorial to local councillor Henry Reader Williams.

Angela Clarke

Highgate High Street has an amazing selection of upmarket shops, cafes and restaurants - I love being in the centre of them all!

Mike Tracy

Not only is Alexandra Palace an extraordinary sight, the views from its hilltop position are also exceptional...
