Bowes Park

Bowes Park lies in the north of the London Borough of Haringey, straddling the boundary with the Borough of Enfield. The neighbourhood is centred on Bowes Park railway station on the Hertford Loop Line. Residential streets are largely Victorian and Edwardian terraces and semi-detached houses, and a compact parade of shops and cafés sits close to the station. Local services include primary schools, small green spaces and community groups that run events and activities for residents.

The station is in Travelcard Zone 3 and is served by Great Northern trains to Moorgate via the Hertford Loop, which shaped much of the area's late-19th-century development. Walking and short local journeys are straightforward; streets are mostly laid out on a tight grid and many properties retain narrow front gardens and bay windows from their original build. The combination of close rail links, local shops and active residents' groups keeps Bowes Park practical for commuters while retaining its neighbourhood scale.
