Palmers GreenGreater London

The excellent Turkish and Greek-Cypriot food scene (one of London's best), Broomfield Park, Stevie Smith's connection (the poet lived here), and an Enfield suburb with strong Mediterranean community character

Palmers Green developed as an Edwardian suburb. The area has a strong Greek-Cypriot community and one of London's best concentrations of Turkish and Greek-Cypriot food. Stevie Smith — the poet — lived in Palmers Green from age 3 until her death in 1971, calling it 'Bottle Green' in her poems.

The Turkish and Greek-Cypriot restaurants on Green Lanes are outstanding — some of London's finest. Broomfield Park for a beautiful Edwardian park. The Stevie Smith connection is celebrated locally.
