Harringay Online

Started on 1 July 2007, Harringay Online was one of the first neighbourhood websites to be set up using social media technology.

[1] It was established with the stated aim of strengthening the community in the neighbourhood of Harringay in the north London Borough of Haringey.

The site aims to achieve a blend of web-based and real world neighbourhood interactions.

[1] Harringay Online is regularly referenced around the world as an exemplary, community-led, hyperlocal website, being referred to recently by Urban Initiatives as "the gold standard for community websites".

[4] In June 2009 it was highly commended in the National eWell-Being Awards.
