New Southgate
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
New Southgate is a residential suburb in the south-east corner of the London Borough of Barnet and the south-west corner of the London Borough of Enfield in North London, England.
The area is situated at the meeting point of three boroughs: Barnet, Enfield and Haringey. Although it is close to Southgate it is regarded as a separate "village".
The postcode N11 - an area which includes parts of Arnos Grove, Bounds Green and Friern Barnet, as well as New Southgate - is often simply referred to as New Southgate.
The area is served by New Southgate railway station and Arnos Grove tube station.
The area was originally known as Colney Hatch, but that name became so much associated with the nearby Colney Hatch Lunatic Asylum that the name New Southgate was adopted.
New Southgate was home to Jerome K Jerome, writer of "Three Men in a Boat". He is commemorated here with a statue of a boat on the New Southgate Millennium Green on Station Road.
