Wood Green history
Wood Green was the largest shopping centre in north London with a turnover of more than £20m in the 1960s. It was one of a number of new suburban centres intended to counteract the pull of Central London’s suburban centres. Wood Green’s first inn and recognisable business appeared on Green Lanes in 1770.
Governance history
The constituency of Wood Green was created in 1918 and existed until 1983 when it was split. Some of the constituency was transferred to the neighbouring seat of Tottenham, but most was merged with the Hornsey parliamentary constituency. Since 2015, the seat has been represented in the House of Commons by Labour Party MP Catherine West.
Post-war
In mid century, Wood Green was known locally as the “Golden Mile of North London” Some shops and buildings were demolished in the 1960s to construct Shopping City, now known as The Mall Wood Green, which is one of London’s major shopping centres. Wood Green also played its part in the history of commercial television in the UK.
21st century
As of 2018, Wood Green is the focus of two major regeneration programmes. The Haringey Heartlands initiative covers an area to the west of the town centre, including the former Clarendon Gas Works, Olympia Trading Estate and land on Western Road. There are also plans for new public open space including a ‘civic boulevard’ linking the east and west of Wood Green.
