Broadwater Farm
Broadwater Farm is an area in Tottenham in North London. It is often simply called "The Farm". Between 3800 and 4000 people live there. In 1985 the Broadwater Farm riot happened there. After this some people left Broadwater Farm. About 70% of the people who live there are ethnic minorities.[1] 39 languages are spoken there.[2]
