Yep, I've always known that bit as 'Green lanes' in the 3 decades I've lived in the borough, infact from Manor House to Duckets common IS Green Lanes. I've never referred to it as or known it referred by friends, neighbours as 'Harringey'
it is a continual road but the area is commonly known as 'green lanes' apart from, apparantly by estate agents. no one goes to the turkish restaurants, hardware stores or veg shops in 'Harringey' .
You are absolutely right - when I go to, say, a Turkish restaurant, I (usually) go to one on Green Lanes (or on Grand Parade, but let's not split hairs over that). However, I live on Pemberton Road, which is not on Green Lanes and not in an area called Green Lanes - it, like the particular section of Green Lanes we are talking about, is in Harringay. There are enough Turkish Restaurants (hardware stores, etc.) on other sections of Green Lanes to make it confusing for people who do not live in the area - in fact just the other day I was trying to explain where a shop was on Green Lanes and realised the person I was talking to thought I was talking about the section by Newington Green, but when I told them "Harringay" they said, oh yes, near the Salisbury.
