Editing Wood Green (section)

The shopping area and residential areas of Wood Green all offer quite different identities. The area to the west of the High Road, near Alexandra Palace, was developed as a mainly middle-class residential area, whereas the area to the east, towards Tottenham, mainly comprises smaller dwellings that were either built for railway workers in the 19th century or as social housing in the 20th. The High Road and the [[The Mall Wood Green|shopping mall]] host a variety of shops.  There are regeneration plans approved for the old Marks and Spencer, and BHS buildings.  There are a number of new restaurants which have opened along the High Road in recent years.  Behind the High Road, Wood Green's streets include a high proportion of attractive high-quality Victorian houses. To the north and west of the tube station, a large number of green spaces weave through the streets and a number of larger open green areas remain.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.homesandproperty.co.uk/area-guides/greater-london/spotlight-on-wood-green-and-bounds-green-31070.html|title=The fast-improving Zone 3 hotspot offering great transport links|date=9 November 2013|website=Homes and Property|access-date=21 February 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180710102536/https://www.homesandproperty.co.uk/area-guides/greater-london/spotlight-on-wood-green-and-bounds-green-31070.html|archive-date=10 July 2018|url-status=live}}</ref>
