Crouch End’s name is of Middle English origin, an ‘end’ being an outlying place, while a ‘crouch’ was a cross, which may have been placed here as a boundary post between two manors.
During the 1870s and 1880s Crouch End was entirely built over, with pressure from local worthies ensuring a high standard of construction.
