Community and economy

Bowes Park is a small community centred on Myddleton Road, which houses a number of shops. In years gone by the road was alive with shops of all kinds including butchers, bakers, tea rooms, and greengrocers, as well as many other types of shops. Nowadays people commute the small distance to Wood Green to go shopping although a dedicated committee called The Myddleton Road Action Group meet several times a year and work with the police and local council to encourage regeneration and business development in the area. Myddleton Road has much improved in the last decade and the green shoots of recovery are certainly showing through but the local council's failure to deal with flagrant breaches of planning laws by ruthless landlords who live outside the area continues to threaten progress and regeneration. A number of illegal encampments in the gardens along the road remain unchecked, as do shopfronts that are contrary to Bowes Park's status as a conservation area.

The road is named after Hugh Myddleton, constructor of the New River (England), which passes through Bowes Park and under the road itself. A smaller shopping area is at the north end of Whittington Road. Bowes Park is situated on the borders of Wood Green, Palmers Green and Bounds Green in London, England.
