Haringey Council

Haringey is fantastic – the world in one borough. A place brimming with creativity, vibrancy, personality, radicalism, diversity and community. It is a place where we stand up for each other. A place that is proudly distinctive. Haringey is the London Borough of Culture for 2027 and we are planning a year of culture to celebrate our ‘Rebel Borough’. For centuries people have come from all over the world and made their home here. They have been welcomed by our communities and in turn have enriched daily life in the borough. Our streets buzz with culture, from food markets to street art, roller discos to Nigerian tapas. Culture and community is in our DNA. Our working-class history champions change-makers and everyday rebels; revelling in our differences, battling discrimination, championing equality and doing things our own way. We speak 180 languages and are home to many communities. Our incredible and renowned food culture is on show from Green Lanes to West Green Road. Haringey is a special place. We have great schools, wonderful libraries, green flag parks; and thriving shopping centres and high streets. We are proud to be home to the renowned Alexandra Palace; historic Bruce Castle Museum; beautiful Finsbury Park; and the world-class Tottenham Stadium. As well as to ground-breaking artists, entrepreneurs, activists, educators; and thousands of dedicated and committed key workers. As a council we strongly believe in what we do. We work in partnership with our residents. We recognise they are experts in their own lives, communities and our borough. We draw on their experience and insights. Their priorities are our priorities. We put our values at the heart of everything we do. We fight for what is right and challenge injustice. We work for the common good and aim to unite not divide. We are competent, collaborative and radical. We are building a fairer and greener Haringey.
