Hornsey is a district of north London, England in the London Borough of Haringey. Hornsey has been a much larger ancient parish than the electoral ward of the same name, in turn a smaller entity than the Municipal Borough of Hornsey which co-governed its area with Middlesex County Council from 1889 to 1965, since which time, the name usually refers only to the London neighbourhood at the heart of these former areas to the west of Hornsey railway station. It is an inner-suburban, for the most part residential, area centred north of Charing Cross. ==Locale== The (boundaries of Hornsey neighbourhood ) today are not clearly defined. Since the Municipal Borough of Hornsey was abolished in 1965, the name most commonly may refer either to the N8 postal district which includes Crouch End and part of Harringay, or to a smaller area centred on Hornsey High Street, called Hornsey Village, at the eastern end of which is the churchyard and tower of the former parish church which used to be the administrative centre of the wider parish of Hornsey. This used to stretch to a long border with Islington and Stoke Newington. It also had two small detached parts immediately beyond and within the latter. In the 1840s the parish had 5,937 residents and had been reduced by the loss of Finsbury Park but comprised taking in besides its own village, the established hamlets of Muswell Hill, Crouch End, and part of Highgate. North of Hornsey High Street, and immediately to its south, some of the area is public sector housing, surrounded by the late Victorian terraces developed by builders such as John Farrer. Between the western end of the High Street and the bottom of Muswell Hill, the character of the area changes dramatically. Much of this part is the Warner Estate built up with large well-appointed late Victorian houses. To the south west of the High Street is Priory Park, a pleasant urban green space. The High Street has a range of shops and an increasing number of restaurants. The eastern section retains strong echoes of its rural past and hosts the 13th-century tower which is all that remains of St Mary's Church. On the north side of the High street is the old public bath and wash house (not to be confused with Hornsey Baths which is 1.5 miles away on the Hornsey Road). Opened in 1932, it had 33,000 users a year in the 1950s. It is now abandoned and sits on a site (the future of which is documented here ). A small group of local residents suggested to Haringey Council that it should be developed as an arts & crafts studio and gallery for local artists but instead it has been largely demolished, with only the front remaining which is being integrated into a new build. The TV drama series ''The Hour'' was filmed in Hornsey.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.channel5.com/shows/the-wright-stuff/episodes/monday-12-november )〕 Hornsey's Town Hall (actually in central Crouch End) was also used within the show.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.haringey.gov.uk/hornsey-town-hall-hour-in-the-spotlight.htm )〕 One electoral ward containing the word "Hornsey" was in use by the London Borough of Haringey in 2011. In 2001 three wards reflected their area's historic identity as part and parcel of Hornsey: #Hornsey Central #Hornsey Vale #South Hornsey〔(Ward search ) Office for National Statistics.
