An independent hairdressers with the loveliest staff. I always feel welcome and they do a fantastic job!
"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.
