About Haringey
Haringey is a fantastic place to live and work – the world in one borough. A place brimming with creativity, personality, radicalism, and community. It is a place where we stand up for each other. A place that is proudly distinctive. We’ll be celebrating all this and more as the "rebel borough" when we are the 2027 London Borough of Culture.

These values keep us looking forward, ambitious for the future, and continuously striving to do our very best for all of our residents.
