Ground broken for Haringey Civic Centre revamp

Contractor John Sisk & Son has held a ground-breaking event to celebrate the commencement of a major revamp of Haringey Civic Centre.

The scheme includes the construction of a new annex, high-quality offices and restored civic spaces, which will be shared with the community in the heart of Wood Green.

With a strong focus on sustainability and energy efficiency, the redevelopment of the Grade II listed landmark building is set for completion in late 2026, just before Haringey Council’s takes on the mantle of London Borough of Culture in 2027.

Haringey Council Leader Councillor Peray Ahmet, said: “Steeped in local history, this truly iconic building holds a special place in the hearts of many people. I’m thrilled construction has begun. This project will re-establish the building as the focal point for public life in the borough and create a dynamic and inclusive space for future generations.

“It will provide high-quality, accessible, and sustainable office accommodation for up to 900 staff, as well as a hub for civic and community activity with green credentials helping us move towards our commitment to a zero-carbon estate.”
