Bounds Green is an area in the north-east of London, in the London Borough of Haringey. Parts of Bounds Green are also known as New Southgate, but most of New Southgate lies in London Borough of Enfield to the north west.

It was originally formed as a popular overnight stop-over for travellers, located on the then outskirts of London, just short of the tollgate at Turnpike Lane.

Today it is a leafy, residential suburb just north of Wood Green. Bounds Green has been highlighted by several sunday papers as a property hotspot due to its proximity to Muswell Hill and its large family houses with big gardens and quiet cul de sacs.

Bounds Green has good transport links, with its own tube station on the Piccadilly Line. Also Bowes Park mainline station, on the line into Kings Cross is a short distance away. There are also a number of bus services connecting Bounds Green to the surrounding areas.
