Tottenham's 130 year old football club won't be relocating to another borough anytime soon, much to the delight of MP David Lammy, and no doubt Tottenham businesses. Club management pledged to revitalize Haringey after the attempted move to an Olympic Park stadium in East London failed.
The team's departure would likely have sounded death knell for businesses on the High Street, which have struggled of late, especially after London's summer riots. Pub and restaurant owners in the area say they rely on foot traffic drawn by games at White Hart Lane to stay afloat.
While the Spurs have fought to crack the premierships top five this season, Tottenham has battled to escape the cellar of London's poverty indexes and unemployment rates.
