Haringey
The London Borough of Haringey is a London borough in North London, England, and forms part of Outer London. It is twinned with Koblenz, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.
The Haringey Symbol is based on a device in the Borough Arms. It is a stylised electric flash representing the first television transmission in Britain from Alexandra Palace.
Note that Harringay - the place - is part of Haringey - the London borough - but they are not the same thing, and the spelling difference is significant. In fact both, as well as Hornsey, come from the same root - a Saxon Chief named Haering. The area took its name - in either form - from Haering's Hege, or Haering's enclosure.
History
The borough was formed in 1965 from the former area of the Municipal Borough of Hornsey, the Municipal Borough of Wood Green and the Municipal Borough of Tottenham which had previously been part of Middlesex.
Alexandra Palace, first constructed in 1873, is located within the borough.
