Hi. have only just joined this site despite living in SG since I was 18.
Have lived in many places in the area my favourite being just above what was "Helen's" hairdressers (now called Blossom). It had a great unofficial roof terrace overlooking SGR.
living next to the World's End was not so much fun. There are only so many renditions of "Mustang Sally" you can hear before it gets old.
My wife, & I moved to Oxford Road with our dog, Lily from West Hampstead last July. We love having the park so close and Parkland Walk so we can walk to Highgate and visit family there.
The only bad things we've noticed about N4 is:
1. There's a lot of people that don't clean up after their dogs.
2. There's always discarded TVs, Fridges & other household appliances left out on the streets? - is it just me or has anyone else noticed this?
Just to introduce myself. My name is Daniel Hulls and I live on the Hornsey Road side of Stroud Green. Just joined up after being in the area for a almost 5 years (although I have looked at the site from time to time)
Hello! Just moved down to SG and very happy here so far - starting to find our feet but recommends very welcome - especially pubs as we're now a motorway away from our old local... Stumbled on the site when trying to explain to people just *where* we were moving to!
Hello! Lived in Stroud Green for about 25 years. Just discovered this site whilst searching for info on the Neighbourhood Day. Sadly won't be going now as dear son decided that this lovely sunny day is perfect for getting chicken pox:-(
I've been pointed towards this site by a Stroud Green friend, but am really an N8 interloper....
Mind you, we seem to spend a great deal of time in The Noble, so I feel less of an imposter.
Hello everyone. I'm Bridget's husband. I've been living here for over a year now and really like the area, it's very different...the only thing I don't really like are all the agreessive looking dogs. Also the mugging we saw the other week wasn't great. But I like Petek really nice.
I'm Ed, one of the three local councillors for the lovely SG and local resident on Ennis Rd. Feel free to get in touch to question/query/berate me on all things council, happy to do my best to help.
ed.butcher.haringeylibdems@gmail.com or 07814 238 150. We also do regular surgeries in Stroud Green Library, Stroud Green School and Hornsey Vale Community Centre - come and say hello!
my name is Ben and although I live on the other side of the tracks over on Gloucester Drive N4 I'm a regular on SG road and was drawn in to add my reviews of the local eateries. I'm half Spanish so the multi-cultural shops and atmosphere, oh and the Arsenal season ticket was what drew me to the area and I have lived here happily for 5 years. I look fwd to contrbuting to some of the interesting threads on here.
Just a note to new applicants that we're being a bit troubled by spam entries at the moment - so if it takes a while to approve your membership, that's why. Sorry.
Another kiwi living in Stroud Green (the Crouch Hill bit, so on the "borders" I guess). No dog, or cat, or even garden - if anyone has a bit of green space that they'd like someone to come around and play with, let me know. Am currently limited to an indoor wormery (thanks Islington Council) and various indoor plants...
Have been here (in SG) since last November, and am loving the area - all the usual reasons, esp the Parkland walk and proximity to various woodlands and good places for general wanderings. Am missing the swifts who have just gone back to Africa for the winter.

Don't have any dogs but do have a cat.

Been living on Florence Road for 4 years or so and still lovin' Stroud Green.
Looking forward to getting to know my neighbours better, albeit virtually...
That parkland walk just keeps on getting better, now all the leaves are out.
I joined a few days ago but never got round to introducing myself.
Live off Lancaster Road on Cornwall, which could be confusing geographically but isn't
Been there for four years
I previously was in N8 and did a stint in SW1 & N22, but particularly love living in SG for its greenness .
Wow - a place to discuss all things Stroud Green.
