Check out the forum Harringay online (for residents of the ladder and the surrounds) - if you haven't already as people mix it up with Haringey online.

Indeed Harringay is ancient, whereas “Haringey” was concocted when the borough (a much larger area than the district) was created around 1965.

I’d love to see a local map which delineates boroughs, old parishes, electoral wards, postal districts, etc. So many ways to describe one area. I could be said to be in Hornsey, South Hornsey, Haringey, Finsbury Park, Stroud Green, N4, and probably a few more toponyms of which I’m not yet aware.

I've learnt a new word - toponym. Excellent, thank you.
