You missed out pretty much everything between Manor House and and Camden, which is about 50% of the route.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00093147139784794178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3735748565810982627.post-69214911795824636212010-01-25T06:41:22.426-08:002010-01-25T06:41:22.426-08:00Kake is correct.

Historically both are legitimate, but the borough spelling had laid dormant for a few hundred years till it was revived by the newly formed Haringey Council in 1965. <a href="http://bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A842942" rel="nofollow">This article on the BBC's h2g2 site</a> gives more of the story. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Harringay" rel="nofollow">This Wikipedia article</a> gives chapter & verse.<br /><br />PS: Green Lanes isn't a place, it's a road - as your link shows by linking to Green Lanes N16 which is Stoke Newington and not on the 29's route.hjukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00164519743799110058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3735748565810982627.post-33061627794483771782009-09-07T15:21:55.545-07:002009-09-07T15:21:55.545-07:00Wood Green is a bit chainy, yes... but I'd lik...Wood Green is a bit chainy, yes... but I'd like to offer a mention of the Big Green Bookshop on Brampton Park Road, just off the main drag. It's a friendly, independent bookshop that's worth a look. You could probably have seen it from the bus if you'd been looking in the right direction at the right time!<br /><br />Muna's Sudanese/Eritrean restaurant is pretty good. The coffee ceremony is fun too.<br /><br />Finally, re the spelling of Haringey/Harringay — a local assures me that the borough is spelled "Haringey" while the neighbourhood within the borough is spelled "Harringay". So Harringay is a subset of the London Borough of Haringey, and it's not the "Haringey Ladder" but the "Harringay Ladder".Kakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17927377657859265168noreply@blogger.com
