Wood Green and Alexandra Palace

Wood Green perfectly displays the ways in which town centres can be reimagined, with arts, community, culture, youth space, health, and homes sitting alongside independent and major retailers. We've been on a journey to coproduce our vision for the area; 'Shaping Wood Green', with our local communities. Together we've imagined places and spaces, building on the character and diversity of the people who live and work here.
With a bustling metropolitan town centre, and a vibrant culture and food scene, Wood Green has something for everyone. This also includes the iconic Alexandra Palace, which has been providing entertainment and recreation for over 150 years. Today, Ally Pally is run by a charity which helps to restore and repurpose the Park and Palace and enable shared cultural experiences of its unique heritage, creative and educational opportunities, and restorative green spaces.

Visit a residential led mixed use regeneration scheme located at the heart of Wood Greens Cultural Quarter. Scale model of the full development as well as show flats can be seen in our Sales and Marketing Suite.

Historic BBC Studio Tours

community/cultural

We are offering people a rare glimpse of the birthplace of television with guided tours of Studios A & B. The BBC first arrived at the Palace in 1935, as the race to broadcast via the latest innovation in entertainment – television – gathered pace. The corporation leased the entire East Wing of the Palace, with former dining rooms transformed into Studios.
