About New Southgate

A residential suburb that straddles three outer London Boroughs, including, a small part of east Barnet, a south-west corner of Enfield and a small northern corner of Haringey, New Southgate is a pocket of North London that acts as glue for neighbouring areas. History tells us that New Southgate only really emerged as a district because from 1851, as Colney Hatch was slowly erased from the names of schools, churches and most other organisations. Residents sought to distance themselves from a lingering social stigma associated to them by the large mental health institution, Colney Hatch Lunatic Asylum.

However, in that time, New Southgate has come into its own. What was the Colney Hatch Lunatic Asylum, is now the luxury residential housing of Princess Park Manor and Friern Village. It has its own rail station, New Southgate, that gets you into Central London in 20 minutes. Meanwhile it’s just 10 minutes’ walk to Arnos grove for the nearest Underground service. And due to its strategic location based around Arnos Grove roundabout, you have easy access to neighbouring areas, including schools, amenities and parks, such as Friary Park, Arnos Park, Broomfield Park, Brunswick Park and more.
