Discovering, Preserving and Sharing Our Local History

Panorama of the area covered by HHS

Hornsey Historical Society covers the north London areas of Bounds Green and Bowes Park, Crouch End, Harringay, Highgate, Hornsey Village, Muswell Hill, Stroud Green and Wood Green.

We are currently looking for volunteers to help with the many different things we do. If you have some spare time and are interested in the history of the area we would love to hear from you.
