The Crouch End Character Threatened

What makes Crouch End distinct in North London and what threatens it

By Lowri Griffiths, North London.

The Character

The Crouch End character -- the specific combination of independent shops on the Broadway, the creative community that the area has housed since the 1980s, and the specific residential character of the Victorian terraces -- is the North London neighbourhood character most directly in tension with the commercial pressures that the area success has produced.

The Threat

The commercial pressure: the specific rent levels that the Crouch End Broadway retail is experiencing have produced the specific closure of the independent shops that the character depends on and the specific opening of the chain stores and the upscale restaurants that the incoming demographic supports.

The Column

Lowri Griffiths covers Crouch End character because the accountability journalism of neighbourhood identity requires examining the specific economic pressures that threaten it.
