Fortis Green

Fortis Green is a residential ward in North London, part of the Haringey borough. The area is characterised by its quiet, tree-lined streets and a mix of housing styles, including Victorian and Edwardian terraces along with inter-war semis. It borders the open expanses of Coldfall Wood and the Muswell Hill Playing Fields, providing significant green space for the community. Local shops and services are concentrated along Fortis Green Road, serving the immediate neighbourhood.

The area has a notable musical heritage, being the childhood home of several members of The Kinks. Its suburban feel is anchored by well-regarded primary schools and community facilities like the Muswell Hill Sports Centre. Alexandra Palace and its park, a major local landmark, lie just to the east, though the ward itself maintains a quieter, more residential atmosphere distinct from the bustle of the palace grounds.
