According to a council brochure, nearly half of Haringey's 216,000 population have an ethnic background: "Greek and Turkish Cypriot, African and Caribbean, Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi, Irish and Chinese. Recently, Kurdish and Somali refugees have settled in Haringey, too. The people of Haringey speak a total of 193 different languages." Little wonder, then, that Haringey has some half-dozen shops purveying bagels, including several on one small stretch of the High Road in N17.
