Manor House is a London district that lies mostly in the London Borough of Haringey, and partly in the London Borough of Hackney. It is centred on Manor House tube station on the Piccadilly line, at the important crossroads of Seven Sisters Road and Green Lanes.
Its most notable features are the tube station itself and the eastern fringe of Finsbury Park. There is a small shopping area, but the district mostly comprises high-density housing, such as the Woodberry Down Estate. The Manor House pub, after which the district is named, stood over the tube station, and was notable chiefly for being the first employer of Richard Desmond, now the owner of the Daily Express and Daily Star. The building also housed a nightclub 'The Catacomb' http://www.myspace.com/catacombnightclub that was popular among Goths in the mid-1980s.
