Where to stay in Tottenham Hale
Where visitors usually base themselves, and why.
Beds cluster in Tottenham proper. The district south-east of it runs down to the River Lea, and a room booked up the road still leaves Markfield Beam Engine and Museum, Brook Street Chapel and the water within a walk. Tottenham Palace Theatre pulls the evening crowd.
Guests choosing the London Borough of Haringey streets over the river edge give up the Lea for a shorter run into the rest of north London.

About Tottenham Hale
What are the main landmarks in Tottenham Hale?
Tottenham Hale's landmark set runs to five entries. Markfield Beam Engine and Museum stands by the River Lea, and Tottenham Palace Theatre is the one entry on the list built for an audience rather than a congregation. Brook Street Chapel is the plainest.
Church of St Mary the Virgin and Church of Holy Trinity round out a record that runs to worship and machinery, which fits a district that spent more than a century inside the Municipal Borough of Tottenham.
What is the history of Tottenham Hale?
The boundary moved, not the place. From 1850 to 1965 Tottenham Hale sat inside the Municipal Borough of Tottenham, which belonged to Middlesex rather than to London, and the district kept that footing for well over a century. The London Borough of Haringey followed.
What the record fixes is the frame rather than the detail: a stretch of ground beside the River Lea, south-east of Tottenham proper, administered in turn from three different addresses.
Where is Tottenham Hale?
Tottenham Hale takes in the ground between Tottenham proper and the River Lea, which closes the district off along one whole side.
