Tottenham, an area of Haringey in North East London, is an area of high density housing which is recognised as deficient in the quantity of parks and green spaces. Those that exist, such as Bruce Castle Park (the first public park in Tottenham), Downhills Park, Lordship Rec and the wild beauty of Tottenham Marshes to the East of the borough are delightful places to visit. |
