Turkish Shef Says Harringay's Bloomin' Wonderful

Sabri, owner of Selale with Shef, boss of the Harringay Traders Association

As a taste of things to come this year, Harringay Traders Association boss Shefik Mehmet got down and dirty creating new flower displays in window boxes outside Selale restaurant this week.

"Harringay is going to be even more beautiful after this year", said Shef beaming with pride. "I'm stealing a march on the official regeneration and making a start already. This area between Alison Road and St Ann's Road is going to benefit from the pocket parks funding. It's going to very green....and wonderful!".

Standing outside Selale, I noticed that finally Sabri has been able to fling open his huge windows, giving the restaurant an almost open-front feel. Nice!
