Exploring St Ann's: Where is it?
St Ann's stretches from a lovely green space called Chestnuts Park in the west. It goes all the way to Seven Sisters Road in the east. If you look to the south, you'll find its edge marked by the London Overground railway line.
St Ann's Through Time: A Brief History
The area gets its name from St. Ann's Church. This church was built a long time ago, in the middle of the 1800s, when the area was mostly countryside. It was officially opened in 1861. Soon after, a small village started to grow around the church. However, London was growing very fast! The city quickly expanded northwards, and by the mid-1890s, St Ann's was no longer a separate little village. It became part of the bigger London area.
