Walkers on the Lea Valley Walk will be able to see a new village being built during the next five years on the edge of London. It will include a handy hotel.

The environmentally sustainable Hale Village in Tottenham is being modelled on the waterside Hammarby district of Stockholm.

Tottenham’s own twelve acre site is in Ferry Lane and was once the Harris Lebus furniture factory and more recently the Greater London Council bulk buying warehouse. The new buildings are to include mixed housing, student accommodation, a supermarket and a school.

Developers Lee Valley Estates are based at Tottenham Lock.
