Trains to Tottenham Hale

Tottenham Hale is an interchange station in north London. The station opened in 1840 as Tottenham and has seen many transformations (and name changes) over more than 180 years. The area was once a leisure hotspot for the rich - even Henry VIII hunted in Tottenham Woods. Until 1868, Tottenham Hale was the final train stop for cattle shepherded from East Anglia. The animals were then driven four miles into the city. “Hale” was added to the station name in 1875 and removed in 1938 before being added back in 1968. In 1882, Tottenham Hale began providing connections between London and the coalfields in the north as part of a key rail freight artery.
