Argyle Passage links the busy Tottenham High Road with Argyle Road behind and has always been a pedestrian route, dating back to when this area of countryside was first transformed into the urban sprawl we know today. Although Tottenham remained rural until the 19th century, the High Road itself is ancient - a descendant of the Roman Ermine Street, later diverted slightly to avoid the flood-prone Moselle Brook.

City Hall just committed $40 million to putting seating at every eligible bus stop across the five boroughs. That means benches or leaning bars at roughly 8,750 stops that currently leave riders hovering, pacing or crouching on a curb. The rollout kicks off in November 2025 and, in true infrastructure-timeline fashion, will take up to 10 years, with 875 stops updated annually.
