Info
The Little Russia area of Tottenham, London, UK is on the straight northern boundary of the London Borough of Haringey specifically adjoining Edmonton, mainly comprising Pretoria Road, Durban Road and Lorenco Road (west of the railway line between Silver Street and White Hart Lane).The area had become known as "Little Russia" in the early 20th century due to the influx of Russian immigrants. Immigration peaked when a large number of Russians settled there after fleeing the 1917 Russian Revolution. It developed into one of the toughest areas of North London and the local constabulary usually only policed the area in pairs. The area was mostly redeveloped in the 1970s.
