Originally, the building at 100 Tower Gardens Road was the estate office. The building has then been used as a Sure Start centre, a nursery, and as offices for the charity HomeStart. Parts of the building are now empty. The residents are interested in potential community uses for the building.

In December 2024, a group of residents were able to view the inside of the building. There are notes and photos from that tour. Following the tour, a constituted group – called Tower Gardens Community Corner – was formed to push for community use of the building.

Update about 100 Tower Gardens Road!

Unfortunately, and despite what was recently published in the Haringey People magazine, we have recently been informed that the Council has placed the building on an undisclosed list of assets that they intend to sell by the end of the tax year.

The Tower Gardens Community Corner committee is engaging with our councillors and Ruth Gordon (Cabinet Member for Placemaking), who is a main decision-maker regarding the building’s future, in order to understand the situation and discuss how we can prevent the sale and instead ensure the building is used for the community.

As this is a community project, we will keep you all informed, and we will need to work together! Developments are likely to accelerate in the coming months… If you would like more information or wish to get more involved, reach out.

This is only official information currently available about the list or buildings for sale: https://www.minutes.haringey.gov.uk/mgAi.aspx?ID=82507

Tower Gardens Community Corner

Local residents have been wanting a community space for over 100 years – when it was first promised in the original plans! For some years there was a club in Waltheof Gardens, but this was demolished a long time ago. The Residents Groups also used to use the building in Tower Gardens Park for meetings in the past. Now, we have the opportunity to turn 100 Tower Gardens Road into a “community corner” for the estate, and more widely for the ward with which it shared a name when it was originally known as White Hart Lane Estate.

Following initial engagement, including the online survey and an event outside the building, we have put together a community “dream” for the building (below) to help ground the conversation. Reach out if you want to get involved!
