In June, Muswell Hill found itself the focus of concerns over far-right reprisals following the murder of a soldier in Woolwhich.

Graffiti of the letters “EDL” appeared at the scene of a fire at an Islamic community centre, in Coppetts Road, used by the Somali Islamic Bravanese Welfare Association.

The discovery of the graffiti, which are the initials of the far-right group the English Defence League, prompted speculation that the attack was motivated by the murder of Lee Rigby in Woolwich.

However, the EDL denied it was behind the attack.

Meanwhile, Haringey Borough Council unveiled a three-year plan intended to give the borough some of the best schools in London.
