Green Lanes in Palmers Green.

Green Lanes is a main road in North London which forms part of the A105 road. Covering a distance of Шаблон:Convert[1] between Newington Green and Winchmore Hill, it is one of the longest streets in the capital, passing through the N16, N4, N8, N13 and N21 postcode areas.

History

Whilst it is undeniably an ancient thoroughfare, the age and origin of Green Lanes is somewhat uncertain. It possibly originated as a drovers' road along which cattle were walked from Hertfordshire to London. Its origins may date back as far as the Roman period.[2]

Route

Green Lanes[3] runs from Newington Green north along the western edge of Stoke Newington, thereby forming the border between Hackney and Islington, until it reaches Manor House at the eastern edge of Finsbury Park. As it crosses the New River over Green Lanes Bridge, it enters the London Borough of Haringey, it then runs Шаблон:Convert[4] through the neighbourhood of Harringay. From the junction with Turnpike Lane the road temporarily changes its name and runs for Шаблон:Convert[5] through Wood Green as 'High Road', resuming its Green Lanes identity again after the junction with Lascotts Road. It then continues north for another Шаблон:Convert[6] through Palmers Green and Winchmore Hill in the London Borough of Enfield, until it reaches the junction with Ridge Avenue and Green Dragon Lane at Mason's Corner. The northward continuation into Bush Hill at this point is now blocked.
