London Bridge Is 2.5 Miles from Wood Green — Not In It

Wood Green is a district in the London Borough of Haringey, North London (postcode N22). London Bridge is a bridge (and surrounding area) in the City of London, ~2.5 miles (4 km) to the south.

Distance & Travel

• Tube: Wood Green (Piccadilly line) → King's Cross St. Pancras (Victoria line) → London Bridge (Northern/Jubilee) — ~25 min.
• Bus: Route 141 or 67 + walk — ~40 min.
• Drive: 2.5 mi via A10/A501 — 15–30 min traffic-dependent.

Why the Confusion?

• "London Bridge" is often mistakenly used to mean Tower Bridge (downstream, more photogenic).
• Both "London Bridge" and "Tower Bridge" are in/near the City of London, not Haringey.
• Tower Hamlets is a borough east of the City — also not Haringey.

Key Landmarks in Each Area

• Wood Green: Alexandra Palace, The Mall Wood Green, Turnpike Lane, Haringey Civic Centre.
• London Bridge: The Shard, Borough Market, HMS Belfast, Southwark Cathedral, Guy's Hospital.

They're distinct neighborhoods — one a North London suburban center, the other a historic riverside business/cultural hub.
