Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Haringey Launches New Artisan and Market Space in Wood Green
Earlier tonight a small launch party was held for Blue House Yard, Haringey's new maker-cum-market space in the centre of Wood Green. Set back from Station Road, opposite the Green Rooms, Blue House Yard will make use of a space that is due for development, but probably not for another ten years..
Council Leader Claire Kober Told me, "Its a meanwhile space that will make good use of an area that would otherwise sit empty. The little buildings will be home to makers and crafts people and have been heavily over-subscribed."
Singer Solana Lord Baptiste gave a beautiful rendition of Keane's Somewhere Only We Know.
There will be a market in the space between the maker buildings there’s a lunch time market 11am-3pm on a Wed, Thurs and Fri, starting from tomorrow, 29th June. It will also be used for events as and when.
Kober also told me that just beyond Blue House Yard, the building on the corner of Station Road and Cumberland Road has also been given over for artists' studios. Haringey do seem very determined to develop a real creative buzz around Wood Green - and more power to their elbows, I guess.

You can see the space for yourself from this weekend.

Thanks for the reminder Hugh, I think there's supposed to be some lunchtime "street food" stalls here in July or did that start today?
It will be an impressive piece of reinvention if the "Blue House" itself becomes a local landmark. Certainly Google street view will need to catch up fairly sharpish:

They had street food stalls today, but I forgot to ask when the official first day will be. I think it's Saturday.
....and of course I have no wish to airbrush bearded hispters out.....
