Hornsey sits in conservation areas around the church and the Crouch End end — notice needed for most tree work. The big Victorian gardens have some genuinely significant trees.
What we do in Hornsey

TPOs & conservation areas in Hornsey
Local councils (Enfield, Barnet, Haringey, Hertsmere, Welwyn Hatfield, Broxbourne, Epping Forest — depending where you sit) regulate work on trees in conservation areas and on TPO'd trees. We check the records before quoting, and submit the application on your behalf if consent is required. No fines, no surprises.
