[3] The name is derived from seven elms which were planted in a circle with a walnut tree at their centre on an area of common land known as Page Green.

[5] In his early-seventeenth-century work, The Briefe Description of the Towne of Tottenham Highcrosse, local vicar and historian William Bedwell singled out the walnut tree for particular mention.

[6] There is also speculation that the tree was ancient, possibly going back as far as Roman times, perhaps standing in a sacred grove or pagan place of worship.

[8] From 1619 they are shown in a position which today corresponds with the western tip of Page Green at the junction of Broad Lane and the High Road.

[16] The Clyde Circus Conservation Area stretches between the busy local shops of West Green Road and Philip Lane.

[18] Recent successful projects organised by FARA members include the creation of a community garden at the site of a dated pedestrian ramp.

Grainger's plan to demolish the existing buildings on the site and replace them with a new mixed-use development of retail and residential units was met with local opposition.

[28] Transport for London has completed a major project to improve the Tottenham Hale Gyratory – a busy one-way system that used to pass Seven Sisters station – converting it to a slower, pedestrian-friendly, two-way road.
