Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Why is Crouch End high street so much cleaner than Green Lanes?
I recently noted that people queue for buses in Crouch End but not Green Lanes and wondered why.
On my most recent excursion I noticed how markedly cleaner Crouch End is on a Saturday morning compared to Green Lanes and again wondered why?
Both are very busy on a Saturday morning (Crouch End arguably more so). Both have lots of cafes and restaurants. Both have bus stops.
But Green Lanes is littered with rubbish.
Why is it so?

That's an interesting observation. Even if you cross over into Crouch End area from Harringay rail station, the difference is immediately noticeable. One logic may be that we do have a lot of movement in terms of tenants living briefly on Green Lanes - this usually means that there's lesser investment in the general appearance of the area in comparison to Crouch End which has a higher proportion of home owners?

To reduce general littering, adding more bins to Green Lanes would help, especially if they are larger and with bigger access holes.
For the flats above the shops, having larger and more attractive bins would improve the aesthetics. Those cheap plastic grit box type bins currently in use are a complete failure.
