North London
Meet new people in Haringey
Haringey runs from the woods of Highgate and the hilltop at Alexandra Palace to the marshes of the Lee Valley in Tottenham. It is one of the most mixed boroughs in London (leafy village high streets in the west, busy markets and match days in the east) and that makes it a good place to meet people who aren't all the same.
PingMee helps you meet them. Post a status saying what you're up for (a walk up to Ally Pally, a run round Finsbury Park, food on Green Lanes), see who's around in Haringey right now, and send them a ping. If they ping back, a private chat opens for the two of you. It's for new friends, relationships and networking, and it's free.
