More about this scene
Taking its name from the south gate to Enfield Chase, and overlooking the Lea Valley, Southgate was a part of Edmonton until the late 19th century. Development began in around 1870 with the arrival of the Great Northern Railway, but it was the arrival of the Piccadilly Line in 1933 that produced mass housing. Although the original village green is away to the south, along the High Street it is the superbly spacious circular underground station by Charles Holden, and the grassy roundabout, that create a new focus of interest.
