The principal shopping areas in the borough are Wood Green and Turnpike Lane, Muswell Hill, Crouch End, Harringay and Tottenham Hale.
The centre was bought by current owners The Mall Company in 2002 and renamed "The Mall Wood Green".[3] The new owners carried out a £30 million rebuilding programme, altering the layout of the shops and adding a 12-screen cinema.[9] The market hall was expanded, with a number of specialist retailers catering for the unusually diverse ethnic groups in the area.[10] In 2007 the owners applied for consent to expand the centre further with a 3-storey extension on the site of an adjacent petrol station,[11] which when complete will increase the mall size to 617,000 sq ft (57,300m²) and the total number of retail units to 123,[12] overtaking rival Brent Cross's 110 shops[13] for the first time. Approval was given in May 2007, despite concerns raised about the possibility of flooding on the new site from the River Moselle; in June 2007 it was announced that the bulk of the extension will be occupied by a new Debenhams store.[14] The proposal involved demolishing the existing Pearson's department store and extending the mall into space within and beyond this site. However, the Debenhams plan ultimately did not go ahead, and instead the bulk of the development site was taken up by a large Primark store.[15].
Queen's Wood was known as Churchyard Bottom Wood (possibly because of the discovery of human bones in the west of the Wood which are presumed to have been from the burial pit for victims of the bubonic plague in 1665) until it was purchased from the Ecclesiastical Commissioners by Hornsey Urban District Council in 1898 and renamed Queen's Wood in honour of Queen Victoria.
The Observer Wildlife Exhibition held here in 1963 was an important early event in highlighting awareness of worldwide endangered species, and gained a very large attendance (46,000).[16]
