Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Local books for local people
If you're stuck for a Christmas present for someone who lives in the neighbourhood, why not treat them to a book set in and around our local area:
Matt Baylis
M.H Baylis has written two books set in and around Wood Green starring local reporter Rex Tracey. The first is Death at the Palace which Matt followed up with The Tottenham Outrage this year.
Dom Shaw
Eric is Awake is Harringay novelist Dom Shaw's first novel. It name checks some familiar spots in North London.
All 3 books can be purchased at Big Green Bookshop, Wood Green
Other local authors are available, please feel free to suggest your favourites :)

Tenuous link but The Curious Incident of the Dog etc mentions Lausanne Road - the author must know, or know someone in, the area?

Hooky Gear by Nick Barlay - more to see in Google books
Empires: The First Battle by Gavin Deas - see Chapter 7
I recently came across two more books which mention Harringay - I don't think the authors live locally though. And have no idea why links are appearing at the top of my posts
