Wood Green is a suburban district of the London Borough of Haringey, London, England. Its postal district is N22, with parts in N8 or N15. The London Plan identifies it as one of the metropolitan centres in Greater London,[2] and today it forms a major commercial district of north London.[3]
Formerly lying within the western part of Tottenham and the county of Middlesex, it became part of both Haringey and Greater London in 1965. Wood Green lies directly east of Alexandra Palace. It is 6.5 miles (10.5 km) from Charing Cross in central London.
