| Please don't try to advertise products or services in this forum. Thank you. Post or Ask something here in 'Seven Sisters' Seven Sisters Wards Corner and N17 property pricesI am considering selling my 1-bed flat in Dongola Road (just up from Philip Lane) and would be grateful if anyone had any information or just general thoughts on the impending Wards Corner development and how it might affect property prices. Is now a good time to sell do you think? Does anyone know when work is actually going to begin on the new development? Post reply -->London Seven Sisters Lyle 24 Nov ^ Seven SistersVery little owrk will be done in the area for the next couple of years. However the new town hall devlopement is a good mix of old and new and the Lawrence road scheme will both be positive for the area. There is even talk of the arts centre being turned into a Curzon cinema. Too early to say. I would hang on if you can but it depends what you need. The area has some great two bed small town houses so have a look in Jansons Road, N15 Post reply -->London Seven Sisters Sarah 1 Dec ^ Seven SistersThanks for the information! I had heard about the Lawrence Road scheme, I see some of the buildings have signs saying they've been "acquired" but nothing seems to be going on right now. Two years seems a long time, I think I'll get some valuations done, put the flat on the market and then just see what happens I suppose! Post reply -->London Seven Sisters 29 Dec Seven Sisters hiSeven Sisters westerfield roadI have heard that westerfield road, well the park, tube building and the witness hall are are all up form demolition as part of stage 3 of the ward corner project. The council want to bring chain shops into the area as they feel it needs the lift. So if you bought on westerfield it might be quite and peaceful now but busy after the building but your property value might go through the roof. Post reply -->London Seven Sisters george 18 Jun ^ Seven Sisters Wonderful newsI just would like to see this redevlopment of seven sisters to happen. The sight of the old market brings the house prices down, in addion that degeneration indicates poverty and crime.

 | ^ Seven SistersThe irony is that according to the local police the market has very low crime. The degradation is down to neglect of the area by Haringey Council in the first place. They are acting like the sort of cowboy who can't get planning permission so lets the building decay so it has to be demolished. The people in the market have worked hard to establish viable businesses with nothing like the resources that the council is chucking at Grainger. They deserve support, not vilification. With just a bit of help it could bring something special and unique to the area - why throw that away for another branch of Superdrug? Post reply -->London Seven Sisters Liz 26 Jul ^ Seven Sisters The new plan takes into account the current marketI thought the new plan will incoporate the new market. It is just the area needs a major cosmetic surgery, and long-time needed. We can just keep and live with the status quo. The building is an eye sore, market or not. The whole of tottenham high road needs some major regeneration. The area is improving on the tottenham hale side (east side), all is needed is for the entrance to tottenham to change Post reply -->London Seven Sisters Lady in Black and White 29 Jul Seven Sisters New Portugese cafe on West Green RoadNice new cafe opened to sit and read a book/papers. Does all the usual stuff - coffee/cakes/sandwiches. Give it a go. Hopefully it will remain open! Post reply -->London Seven Sisters Nic 15 Mar ^ Seven Sisters^ Seven Sisters The cafe is greatTook your advice and went in today. Have some Portuguese chicken and rice plus lovely custard cakes. The owner is a lovely man. He told me he wants to start doing tapas in the evening if he can have a beet license. There are some real gems around here I just wish the council would help them. Thsi continuing plaaning blight like they cause like those burnt out out houses by the tube and in suffeild road. All part of the latest council grand redevlopement plan held up due to credit crunch or maybe it was just rubbish. Post reply -->London Seven Sisters 18 Jun Seven Sisters Tottenham hale sideDoes anyone know any proprerty to let seven sisters/tottenham hale side (east side of the parade)? Post reply -->London Seven Sisters Ange 19 Feb Seven Sisters Happy with 7 sistersI've lived in Lealand Road for a year now and am enjoying it. I have very nice neighbours and there are lots of really great local shops so you never have to be without milk or beer. The Lee Valley's such an asset too and the tube's so handy for central London- it's much quicker than it looks on the map. Post reply -->London Seven Sisters Catherine 24 Jan Seven Sisters Seven Sisters on the upI think Seven Sisters is very similar to other areas of London, as far as crime is concerned. I am a Regeneration Manager at the Bridge NDC and every year we do a MORI survey- the last one (2008) showed that people had less fear of crime than previously. We are doing our best to support the police and community organisations to improve the area. We have just launched Rev Up - a project to support business in Seven Sisters, managed by North London Business! Post reply -->London Seven Sisters Geoff Hollett 24 Jan Seven Sisters Love Seven SistersI have lived in Tynemouth road for few years now, and the area has been transformed. Seven sisters - Tottenham hale side is being gentrified. The area is safe, nice, withb excellent transport links to central London and Stansted. I strongly recommend it! Post reply -->London Seven Sisters Monique 20 Jan Seven Sisters Gym with kids play areaDoes anyone know of a gym with kids play area in North London region? Mail me at Mail-me Post reply -->London Seven Sisters Shanaz 21 Oct Seven SistersI have lived in Alton Road, N17 for 4 years. It is a lovely little road and my neighbours are all polite and friendly. The area needs more people who care about it to move in! It's great for transport and parks and is close to Crouch end and Stoke Newington, but you can actually afford to buy a house here! Post reply -->London Seven Sisters Siobhan Ryan 30 Sep Seven Sisters mhsuleiman@hotmail.comI got a planning permission to build a level dwelling house on an extra land adjoining to my existing. The land is part of my existing house. The new house is intended to be independent from the existing one. My concern how the tax authority will treat this. would they see as a developer, a landlord? Any advice? Post reply -->London Seven Sisters Suleiman 27 Jun Seven Sisters lawrence roadThey are building new private flats all along Lawrence Road. they are planning to knock down the empty office blocks and build luxury two bed appartments. That will make Lawrence more lively. The devloper is also adding some shops under the units at the corner of Lawence and West Green Road. There are some fab live/work artist appartments along the street in Studio 21 and a couple of nice side streets of cottage sytle housing. Very big and not that expensive. Over 100 local artists work there. It lacks any up maket resturants but the Japense noodle bar in West Green Road next door is good and there is the new cafe/bar/restaurant at the arts Centre. Post reply -->London Seven Sisters tim 14 Mar Seven Sisters beaconsfield Road - what is it like?I am thinking of buying a flat on Beaconsfield Road. What is it like? It seems a nice street, the house are large and roomy, there are a few street trees and I not the local council have planted some new ones recently and the loclas have planted flowers around the bases of some trees. the gardens are huge and go a long way back and I see there ar evaroius new building scheme nearby on old brownfield sites which will take care of any remaining scruffy bits or the area. The surrounding streets seems lively which must make it very safe and the nieghbours have all lived their for years whihc is anothergood sign.

Apparently some of the old run down factories are going to be demolished and replaced with a new gated block of flats. Post reply -->London Seven Sisters paul 6 Feb Seven Sisters Anyone know anything about Seaford RoadHi there, Im a young professional trying to get on the property ladder. Ive seen a lovely place on Seaford Road and was wondering if anyone had any thoughts or knowledge of the area? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Mail-me Post reply -->London Seven Sisters Patrick 5 Feb ^ Seven Sisters on the upi've lived there for nearly 3 years. it's getting better all the time as houses are sold and new people buy houses and live in them rather than rent them out. the area should change a lot over the next few years. this is the local residents association. fara.wikispaces.com Post reply -->London Seven Sisters Miles 7 Feb Seven Sisters Great cafe in the Arts CentreThe cafe in the Bernie Grant Arts Centre is really good. It is a bit hard to find as you have to go through the booking office of the Arts Centre. The centre is on the High Road, behind the old Town Hall, near the Green and Leisure Centre. The food is nice, varied and reasonably priced, the staff very friendly and the design and furniture is modern and fun. The overall of the centre won an architectural award. They are now open only when there is a performance but it is always worth popping by if you are in that part of the High Road. They used to due a good Sunday dinner but cut back due to numbers. It may return once more people know about the place. There is also the three cafe in the Latin market next to Seven Sisters tube station. Lively places with strong coffee. Post reply -->London Seven Sisters paul 1 Feb Seven Sisters Seven SistersReading some of the comments written by others has really inspired me to write here also. What a great website! I love Tottenham in general not just Seven Sisters. I have lived in the area for over 30 years and the area is definately on the up. It won't be long before we have some fantastic cafes!! Post reply -->London Seven Sisters JK 14 Jan Seven Sisters Sign the local petition. Save the latin marketThere are plans to demolish the Wards Corner site above 7 Sisters tube station and put up two seven story towers which will house 200 flats and 14 corporate shopping mall units; with the likes of MacDonald’s, Metro supermarkets, etc. 12 Resident’s Associations and two housing groups (so far) would prefer if the area was developed less in a Wood Green Corporate mall style but more of a Stoke Newington inclusive way of development. You can help by signing and publicising an online petition at: http://www.gopetition.co.uk/online/14551.html " Post reply -->London Seven Sisters sue 22 Nov Seven Sisters Tottenham Weekly social meet up N17 N15Thought it might be interesting to meet a few fellow Tottenham residents for quite laid back drinks & conversation. Guys or girls, 30-40 yo's?.. Maybe if people get on, we could make it a weekly meet up?(Near to home!!) Drop me a line! Mail-me Post reply -->London Seven Sisters Mark 15 Nov Seven Sisters Have a look at the plans for over the tube stationThe area above Seven Sisters tube is set to be demolished. The new development is far too dull for the area and the architecture is lack lustre. You can view the plans at: http://wardscorner.wikispaces.com The news plans are for the complete demolition rather than save the best parts like the old Edwardian covered market filled with Latin American cafes and stalls. Additional information and a ePetition for a better plan can be found at: http://www.gopetition.co.uk/online/14551.html Post reply -->London Seven Sisters grove park road 2 Nov ^ Seven Sisters WHYwill someone explain to me why anyone would want to save the 'latin american market' at seven sisters. i have been around it. it is horrible. there is nothing on sale that i would buy there. it is not welcoming. the only people in there were just loitering around and they weren't buying anything. it needs demolishing and some decent chain shops moving in. i do not believe that the majority of those people 'fighting' to save wards corner actually shop at the market.
