EspañolLONDON BOROUGH OF HARINGEY
(Redirected from Haringey)
The 'London Borough of Haringey' is a London borough in North London, England, and forms part of Outer London. It is twinned with Koblenz, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.
According to the 2001 census, Haringey has a population of 216,507. However, it is considered that the Census may have underestimated the population of the borough.
The ethnic composition of the population is 65.6% White, 20% Black, 7.8% Asian, and 3% Indian. White British people are an ethnic minority within Haringey, forming just 45% of the population. The Other White groups form about a third of all white people in the borough, and are comprised primarily of people with Greek, Turkish or Cypriot descent.[1] 46% of householders are owner-occupiers. Only about 11% of the population are over 65, compared to 18.5% nationally.
The borough was formed in 1965 from the former area of the Municipal Borough of Hornsey, the Municipal Borough of Wood Green and the Municipal Borough of Tottenham which had previously been part of Middlesex.
Alexandra Palace, first constructed in 1873, is located within the borough.
The Haringey Symbol is based on a device in the Borough Arms. It is a stylised electric flash representing the first television transmission in Britain from Alexandra Palace.
