About

Muswell Hill ward sits in the northwest of the Haringey borough, bordering the open spaces of Highgate Wood and Queen's Wood to the south. The area is centred on Muswell Hill Broadway, a main thoroughfare with a range of shops and local businesses. Residential streets, characterised by Victorian and Edwardian houses, extend from this central point across the ward's gentle slopes.

The area is known for its village-like atmosphere and the historic Alexandra Palace, which sits just outside the ward's southern boundary on the adjacent Muswell Hill hilltop. A distinctive local feature is the series of traditional butchers, fishmongers, and greengrocers that continue to trade along the Broadway. The ward includes parts of the Coldfall Wood to the north, a conserved ancient woodland with walking trails.
