Why Choose North London?

North London has undergone a massive transformation over the last decade. It has moved away from being purely commuter territory to becoming a cultural destination in its own right. The appeal of areas like Harringay and Seven Sisters lies in their authenticity; you get the trendy "warehouse vibes" of East London mixed with the traditional community feel of a London village. Spotlight on Harringay: The cultural heart

If North London had a soul, it would be found in Harringay. The neighborhood is most famous for the "Harringay Ladder"—a stunning series of parallel Victorian streets that form a perfect geometric community. 

Why do renters love it? 

The lifestyle here is anchored by Green Lanes, a bustling thoroughfare that feels more like a Mediterranean bazaar than a London street. It is home to some of the most authentic Turkish and Kurdish cuisine in the world.

You honestly can’t live here without visiting Gökyüzü or Antepliler, they are absolute local legends for Turkish food, serving up incredible charcoal-grilled meats and vibrant mezes that people travel from all over London to eat.

Besides the great dining, your weekly shop becomes much more interesting here. Yasar Halim, for example, is a local must, it’s a massive, family-run bakery and grocer where you can pick up warm, fresh bread, olives, and honey-soaked baklava at almost any time of day. Once you’ve stocked up on food, you might want to check out the local social scene. The Salisbury is the neighborhood’s go-to pub; it’s a stunning, historic Victorian building with a great atmosphere for a weekend drink. If you’re after something a bit more modern, Brouhaha is a fantastic cocktail bar with a hidden garden, while Dusty Knuckle is just around the corner, serving some of the best coffee and thick-cut sourdough sandwiches in North London.

When you need a break from the urban buzz, you’ve got Chestnuts Park for a quick morning run, or the much larger Finsbury Park nearby for a weekend picnic. It’s that perfect balance of high-energy city life and easy access to green space.At London Flats DFM, we understand that Harringay is a "24-hour neighborhood." We select properties that place you right in the heart of this energy. Our flats in the Harringay area are designed for professionals who want the convenience of a 15-minute commute to the West End but the flavor of a world-class culinary district on their doorstep. Many places to visit, huh? But that's not all!!

For instance, you’ve got spots like True Craft, which perfectly combines fresh sourdough pizza with a huge selection of craft beers. If you’re in the mood for something unique, Chuku’s is another great local find, offering "Nigerian tapas" in a really vibrant setting.

Beyond the food, the area has a deep cultural roots. The Seven Sisters Market is a local hub where you can find some of the best coffee and authentic South American dishes and snacks in the city.

Manor House: The park-side choice

Manor House is the perfect middle ground for people who want to be close to the action but crave a bit more peace and quiet. It sits right on the edge of the Woodberry Down area, which has seen a lot of recent investment and high-quality regeneration.

Why do renters love it? 

The real stars of the show here are the Woodberry Wetlands and the West Reservoir. These are genuine hidden gems in London where you can actually go sailing or kayaking right in Zone 2. Even if you aren’t a fan of the water, grabbing a coffee at the Coal House Café and looking out over the reservoir is a great way to forget you’re in a major city.

In addition to the wetlands, you are essentially at the gateway to Finsbury Park. This means you have massive open spaces for summer festivals, outdoor gyms, or just a long Saturday stroll. How London Flats DFM simplifies the rental journey
