Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Harringay Shop Fronts: how many do you recognise?
A tweet this morning linked me to a London Shopfronts website which includes a good scattering of Harringay Shops.
I'm not sure when the photos used on the website were taken, but looking at the page for N4, I have the impression that most of those shown on Harringay's stretch of Green Lanes have changed from what's shown.
A sign of how our high street is smartening up? Or is this all just post-holiday hallucination?

Paphos Cars is on Upper Tollington Park, and the Faros sandwich shop is on Seven Sisters near Finsbury Park tube and both still look exactly like their pictures. I think all the others (maybe except the laundrette, which I don't recognise) are on Green Lanes.

Poundline and the Launderette are the same (bottom of my road on GL). My memory of Faros from when I lived that side of the Park was that they make a darned fine sandwich even if they lack the kerb appeal of the more 'upmarket' sarnie shops.

I'm pretty sure that a fair few of those are from Blackstock Road in Finsbury Park.
None at all for N17...

Hi Hugh and everyone, I took most of the photos on the site between 2009 and now, some of those pictured above (e.g. Paphos Cars and Faros) were a couple of weeks ago. If you look at them on flickr, you can see the dates taken - the set is here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/emilywebber/sets/72157609709683438/
