Popular with people with young families the North London suburb of Crouch End has a plethora of estate agents, charity shops and coffee shops, but offers little in a cultural sense. All this is about to change if plans for this stretch of Tottenham Lane are realised. The former Salvation Army citadel (currently obscured by scaffolding) is being turned into an arts centre, offering music, comedy and film showings (to open in early 2014), while planning permission has recently been granted to permit the conversion of the 1960s building to the right of the image into a 4-screen cinema (possibly to open late 2015)
