About Wood Green
As the name suggests, Wood Green is a leafy residential area with many local parks and great outdoor spaces, but with an exciting high street, cosmopolitan population and gradual regeneration, it’s also an up-and-coming area that boasts that hard-to-find mix of old and new.
Situated in the London Borough of Haringey in London, Wood Green’s N22 postcode attracts more and more professionals and first-time family buyers given its close proximity to central London. Characterised by Victorian and Edwardian Terraces, the area offers extremely good value for money when compared with neighbouring Harringay, Alexandra Palace or Crouch End.
Surrounded by parks and green spaces means families never have to look far for a great spot to relax, picnic and play. This includes Alexandra Palace, which sits right on Wood Green’s doorstep, with its expansive park, live sports and music shows, and breath-taking views of the Capital.
