Crouch End

Crouch End is in a valley between Haringay, Hornsey, Muswell hill and Wood Green.
Crouch End has a busy town center with a village charm and is surrounded by a number of green spaces. To the north and up a hill is Alexander Palace, a huge green area  that has wonderful views of London.  To the south Frinsbury Park which is major tube line.  Crouch End is inaccessible by tube and I believe that this is what has kept its charm. To get to Crouch End you can get a tube to Turnpike Lane and then get a 41 bus, or get a Train to Wood Green and get a W3 bus which goes through Alexander Palace and is a nice ride.  Or get the tube to Frinsbury Park and get a W3 to Crouch end. Avoid catching the bus between 3-4pm as these buses are used by school children at a local high school/secondary school and become very crowded.  

I highly recommend Dunn's Bakery for Cornish Pasty's, Sausage rolls and many more tasty treats.
Dunn’s Bakery was first established in Highgate way back in 1820. That makes them one of the longest-running bakers in North London.  Robert Freeman started the first Freeman family business on Highgate Hill in 1827. Christopher and Christina Freeman live in Crouch End and are part of the local community.
