Wood Green's new neighbourhood:Clarendon quarter to bring 1,714 homes 22 public green spaces and a park to north London area

09/06/2019

Industrial-age reservoirs, railway viaducts and gasworks in Wood Green are being opened up for recreation and housing.

With its famous “palace” looming large at the top of the slope, Alexandra Park has long been a giant back garden for hemmed-in residents of neighbouring Wood Green

Now, though, Wood Green is getting its own green space, as its industrial-age reservoirs, railway viaducts and gasworks are opened up for recreational use, with housing alongside.

Clarendon, a new “quarter” of 1,714 homes, is being built on 12 acres next to train tracks.

The scheme brings a new park and 22 pockets of public green space, totalling five acres, as well as private landscaped courtyards and a new commercial hub.

The first phase of homes in a 15-storey tower cost from £355,000, low enough to entice first-time buyers who want a quick commute to central London.

Four train stations, Tube and Overground, are within a half-mile walk of the development.

Remarkably, this gritty Zone 3 location has Metropolitan Open Land right next door.

Nearby New River Village, an ex-waterworks, has already been transformed into 467 canalside homes, while 196-acre Ally Pally Park is designated as a local nature reserve.
