Congratulations.
Many years ago I lived in a flat on Queens Avenue* and really liked it. That was before the scuzziness of the broadway crept up to envelop us decent folk. Or our scuzziness crept down - I forget which. I also got married in St James, the big church at the other end of Muswell Hill Broadway - great church, not so great a marriage but don't let that put you off.

Best of luck!

*Incidentally, the white house on the opposite corner to Queens Avenue (used to be a doctor's surgery) is called Fairport and used to belong to the parents of one of the members of Fairport Convention (I think Richard Thompson) and was where they first got together to rehearse, hence the name. Apparently.

I'm just getting to know the area but it seems really nice
Some of our friends from Crouch End have moved into the same street and our new neighbours are really lovely so it's not been half as bad as it could have been - they've been totally sanguine about the (quite major) work we've been doing to the place.
