- Lighting for later visits
- A level parking spot near the entrance
- Close to the garden or entrance
As a London location, Harringay is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
