Seeded sourdough and oatmilk flat white – that's how Crouch End is often seen. But there's so much more to the history of this proudly independent locality, from radical politics to sport, music to exceptional public art. In 'Curious Crouch End', historian Andrew Whitehead tells the stories hidden away amid the Victorian villas and Edwardian terraces of this fashionable corner of North from a pioneering women's football match organised by the possibly mythical Nettie Honeyball, to the high point of the 1968 student rebellion. It's where Bob Dylan got lost on his way to a local recording studio and where Ray Davies found his 'working man's cafe'. Look out for the spectacular Art Deco in the square and the sparkling Art Nouveau in the pub.
