Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

Didn't have time to fully investigate but the prices are very reasonable and the lady at the window is charming

It's my understanding that alcohol consumption is banned on Ducketts Common. 9 years ago when I moved to the area the park was knee deep in rubbish, cans, condoms, winos and vagrants. I and most other woman would rarely walk across it, for women with prams and kids it was impossible.  The police and council (and some locals) targetted it for cleaning up a few years ago. They patrolled it regularly and moved on the alcoholics who would gather in intimidating groups round various park benches. When I pass it now I smile,  to see kids, families, all local people enjoying a cleaned up green area, outdoor gym, basket ball etc. The last thing we need is to encourage drinkers to hang out there again. GO TO A PUB eg The Turnpike just a few yards up the Lane. And I congratulate the police and council for all they've done to make Ducketts Common a safe and pleasant place to be.

Glad you are happy with the way things have improved. Regrettably as a resident opposite and have been for 51 years things are still quite bad sadly..there is a bylaw which prohibits drinking alcohol in all haringey streets but they get away with it because shops sell them in a brown paper bag so they can hide the fact they have an open can or bottle. The council should fine the shops for doing this. I have seen this area go down and down and it's a great shame because whatever the council do it's the people that ruin it

Surely the kiosk is not licensed?

Errr i still don't think its particularly safe or alcohol free!

I'm a 6ft 3 man and I wouldn't walk across it after dark. scary place.

On the other hand, I walked across late one evening. There was a bunch of youths straddling the path and I wondered.....

But one of the young men detached himself from the group, came towards me and said "It's cool man - don't worry "

Very perceptive of him I thought and very nice.

Old Tubby's saveloys made a return yet?
