About the event
A walk down memory lane for some and a chance to discover something new for others, this guided tour explores the rich Black history of one of Tottenham’s most famous roads. Many people do not realise that West Green Road was once described as the “blackest road in Europe” because of the remarkable number of Black-owned businesses located there.
Join this walk to discover some of those businesses and hear the stories behind them. Beginning at Seven Sisters station, the tour follows West Green Road through Haringey, bringing to life stories of Black hair innovation, food, books, fashion, music, and much more.
Your tour guide, Avril Nanton, will meet you at 10.45am inside Costa Coffee. Please allow enough time for your journey, as the walk will begin promptly at 11.00am. There are no toilet stops during the walk, so please use the facilities in Costa Coffee before the tour begins.…
