Haringey Civic Centre


Haringey Civic Centre is a municipal building in High Road, Wood Green, London. It is a Grade II listed building.

History

The building was commissioned to replace the aging Wood Green Town Hall. The site selected for the new building had previously been occupied by the Fishmongers' and Poulterers' Almshouses. The new building was designed by Sir John Brown, A E Henson and Partners and opened as Wood Green Civic Centre in March 1958. It was established as the headquarters of the Municipal Borough of Wood Green and went on to be the local seat of government when the enlarged London Borough of Haringey was formed in 1965. It then became known as Haringey Civic Centre.
In 2017 the building was the subject of a consultation on regeneration options including possible replacement, but after English Heritage listed the building in July 2018, the regeneration options became more restricted. English Heritage praised its "Scandinavian influence, transparency and modernity."
