Local Government Districts: |
Highgate is an affluent residential suburb in North Central London split
between three London boroughs. The northern area (including the part
where the synagogue is situated) is in the
London Borough of Haringey, (close the boundaries with London
Boroughs of Camden and Islington), all created on 1 April 1965, within the
administrative area of Greater London.
The northern part of Highgate was previously in the
Municipal Borough of Hornsey (incorporated as a borough in 1903,
previously an Urban District from 1894) in the
County of Middlesex, both of which entities were abolished in 1965. |
