Neighbourhoods in Haringey

From the hilltop high streets in the west to the Lee Valley in the east.

Training in Haringey

Two speeds, one borough: hilltop studios in the west, big gyms and regeneration in the east.

Haringey is a borough with two speeds. In the west, Muswell Hill, Crouch End and Highgate climb up to Alexandra Palace: Edwardian high streets, boutique studios, Pilates and personal training rooms, and a lot of people in their 40s and 50s getting stronger for the long run. In the east, Tottenham, Tottenham Hale and Wood Green are where the big low-cost gyms sit next to transport hubs, the borough's busiest leisure centres and a fast-changing skyline around the Spurs stadium.

What ties it together is a council that has put money into training. Haringey took its leisure centres back in-house in October 2024, and in 2026 it rebuilt the gyms at Tottenham Green and Park Road with over 40% more stations. Add a heated outdoor lido that opens all year, two athletics tracks and some of London's best hill training (Ally Pally's slopes, the Parkland Walk, Highgate Wood), and you have a borough where you can lift, swim, sprint and climb without leaving N8, N10, N15, N17 or N22.

Haringey adults are more active than the London average (67.6% hit 150 minutes a week against 64.6%), so there are plenty of people to train with. The trick is finding the ones who train where and when you do.
