Part of the Upper Lee Valley Opportunity Area, Tottenham Hale is reinventing itself as a new urban neighbourhood with the potential for more than 10,000 new homes.
Many are already built or under way, along with new shops, offices, public spaces and other amenities. At its core is Tottenham Hale station and it’s on the planned Crossrail 2 route.
House prices, now lowest on the Victoria line, are forecast to rise by up to a quarter in the next five years. Victorian three or four-bedroom terrace houses start around £525k, with resale flats from under £300,000, though new-builds grab the bulk of attention.
Tottenham Hale draws first-time buyers who’ve rented in Stoke Newington, Hackney and Islington, says Foxtons’ Zenonas Georgiou.
‘They’re looking for good value near transport, amenities and green space. One or two-bedroom homes sell best, due to affordability and being able to use Help to Buy London.’
What’s new?
At Heart of Hale, Argent Related is regenerating three-and-a-half-acres around Tottenham Hale station, with more than 1,000 new homes and a new centre featuring independent restaurants, shops, cafés, a cinema, co-working and office space.

Anthology Hale Works, by Lifestory, is the last piece in the 11-phase Hale Village transformation, where amenities include a nursery, gym, community centre and Tesco Express.
