In Popular Culture
Palmers Green is mentioned in Jona Lewie's 1980 song You'll Always Find Me in the Kitchen at Parties. The song's lyrics were penned by Lewie's friend and fellow Brett Marvin and the Thunderbolts member, Keef Trouble. The Palmers Green reference was prompted by the fact that Trouble had just split up with his girlfriend and was at a party thrown by his friend, Charles "Charlie Farley" Hallinan, near The Fox public house in Palmers Green. Jona Lewie slightly amended the words but still mentioned the "do in Palmers Green".

“Children became an obsessive theme in Victorian culture at the same time that they were being exploited as never before. As the horrors of life multiplied for some children, the image of childhood was increasingly exalted. Children became the last symbols of purity in a world which was seen as increasingly ugly.”
