Highams Park - a Victorian idyll

Less than nine miles north of central London is the district of Highams Park Near Walthamstow. Primarily a residential area consisting mostly of Victorian housing, it's also close to Tottenham Hotspur's football ground at White Hart Lane, while the park from which it takes its name has little in the way of facilities, but nevertheless provides a rural escape for walkers, joggers and families.

The building itself is well worth a look; it's a Grade II* listed Georgian property set in Lloyd Park. Also worth a look is Bruce Castle Museum, a 16th-century manor house with art and exhibits retelling Haringey's history.
