Harringay Green Lanes, one of the major population centres for the Turkish-speaking communities, embraced the Christmas season on Saturday when the street’s regeneration was celebrated outside the Salisbury Pub.
The junction of Green Lanes with St Ann’s Road has assumed a distinctive feel, remodelled to feature new paving, decorations and a small clock tower.
Guests and passers-by were offered rinks and food by Shefik Mehmet and Rob Chau, the leaders of the Harringay Green Lanes Traders Association.
Haringey councillors were also present to mark the completion of the scheme, which saw all the junctions into Green Lanes rebuilt. Some shop fronts were also refurbished.
