And now for a bit of History on Crouch End

The name ‘Crouch End’ is rumoured to originate from Medieval Times where the area formed borders of a parish and roughly where the clock tower is now situated, a wooden cross was erected to mark the junction of four locally important roads. The area was made up of rural land but expanded during Victorian times and even included train links which no longer exist, however, an influx or middle-class housing during this period was developed and retailers along what’s now known as Crouch End Broadway, in the mid-1930s, Crouch End became locally well-known for its shopping centre including a music hall which attracted visitors from across London.
