There is a [[parade of shops]] known as Palmers Green Shopping Centre along [[Green Lanes (London)|Green Lanes]], with many restaurants, clothing shops, independently owned cafes, beauty salons, and branches of [[Superdrug]], a former [[Wetherspoons]] (The [[Alfred Cecil Herring#Further information|Alfred Herring]]), [[Boots (company)|Boots]] and [[Morrisons]].

[[Broomfield House]], in [[Broomfield Park, Palmers Green|Broomfield Park]], remains a burnt-out shell despite numerous redevelopment proposals and an appearance on the [[BBC Two]] programme ''[[Restoration (TV series)|Restoration]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.broomfieldhouse.org.uk/index.php/uk/91/restoration-tv-programme |title=Site Maintenance |publisher=Broomfieldhouse.org.uk |access-date=2014-05-20}}</ref> The Conservatory in the park has recently reopened after a refurbishment.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.friendsofbroomfieldpark.org/conservatory_history.php |title=Conservatory history |publisher=Friends of Broomfield Park |date=1934-10-26 |access-date=2014-05-20}}</ref>

After more than 20 years of discussion, the [[North Circular]] A406 was widened to two lanes each way at [[Bounds Green]] in 2010 with various junction improvements. Some major congestion still exists on the A406.

Continuous segregated cycle lanes, junction improvements and rearranged on-street parking on and around Green Lanes have been created by [[Enfield Council]] following a successful bid for "Mini Holland" funding from [[Transport for London]]. The lanes extend as far south as the A406. The aim is to encourage more commuter, school journeys and leisure cycling than was possible under the previous road layout, which combined four lane sections subject to speeding and other dangers to cyclists. Less than one year into their full opening, automated cycle counts at September 2018 already suggest 10-12k trips by bike per month within Palmers Green.

Public access to the [[New River (London)|New River]] waterway has been improved with waterside paths and access gates.
