Seven Sisters is a locality in Tottenham, North London at the east end of Seven Sisters Road, which runs from Tottenham High Road to join the A1 in Islington.

History

The Seven Sisters, situated on Pages Green, Tottenham, were originally Elms planted in a circle, and in 1840 were said to be about 500 years old. The trees were replanted in 1886, a little further to the east by the (7) Hibbert sisters. Seven Lombardy Poplars were again replanted on 31st December 1955 by the (7) Basten sisters of North London. It is possible that the site was an early sacred grove and that the name Pages Green is derived from Pagans Green. The location of the trees may denote a place where people were burnt at the stake.Fact|date=February 2008

The Seven Sisters Road, which starts nearby, was constructed in 1833 to provide a link across the countryside from Tottenham to Holloway.
