Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Harringay's 350 year old tree
While this field maple was just a sapling standing in a field in deepest Middlesex, plague was emptying the city of London, the British and Dutch were at war and Robert Hooke was peering down his microscope and naming what he saw "cells".
Today, it stands in Railway Fields having seen the arrival of the railway, the encroachment of the city to its very roots and the horse and carts on Green Lanes replaced by the end to end traffic of the internal combustion engine.
You can hug this magnificent tree that is over 350 years old weekdays and some weekends in Railway Fields.
