Four Gardens, One Corner Post — N8
N8 takes in Crouch End's Victorian terraces and the parallel, numbered rungs of the Harringay Ladder running down toward Green Lanes.
Frequently asked — N8
Why is a corner post trickier on the Harringay Ladder?
It can mark the junction of four separate rear gardens rather than two, so its exact position affects households on the parallel rung as well as next door.
What happens if a Ladder corner post is in the wrong place?
Correcting it later can mean re-opening the conversation with everyone whose garden meets at that corner, not just the immediate neighbour.
Do Crouch End's terraces have this junction issue?
No — Crouch End's plots back onto a single neighbour in the ordinary way; the four-way corner is specific to the Ladder's rungs.
