Crouch Hill is a street in north London, England, running between Crouch End and Stroud Green in the boroughs of Haringey and Islington.

The street has a railway station of the same name on the Islington (south) slope of the hill, which is served by the Gospel Oak to Barking line.

The Parkland Walk

Running underneath Crouch Hill is a public walkway called the Parkland Walk, a public foot and cycle path that stretches from Finsbury Park to Alexandra Palace, and follows some of the course of the Northern Heights planned rail extension to the Northern Line, abandoned on 9 February 1954.

Balcombe Street Siege

In 1974, rooms in a house on the Islington side of Crouch Hill were rented by IRA members who were subsequently arrested at the end of the Balcombe Street Siege.[1]
