Lordship Lane (Haringey) N17 & N22 (London)

United Kingdom / England / London
 street, invisible, do not draw title

Lordship Lane connects Wood Green (N22) with Tottenham High Road (N17). It lies in the London Borough of Haringey and forms part of the A109 road.

It is ancient, having probably existed as a track since at least Roman times, 2000 years ago. It is lined by a variety of historic and otherwise interesting buildings providing a good cross section of the architecture most commonly seen in early 21st century suburban north London.

  • This should really be marked as a road, rather than a square. I have kept it for now but reduced it in size to stop it getting tangled with other places.
  • Thank you wikimapper for this useless adjustment
