Anyone know the location?.....Plenty of refs to the 5 West Green Road one,but not to the High road one.....This is pure curiosity as I used to live in the area..........

Hello Steve

I am close to completing my biography of Chapman and I can tell you that it was 518 Tottenham High Road, opposite Bruce Grove station. He rented it from thirty-five-year-old Henry James Pincott, who also owned No.520, where he ran a tobacconist shop. Chapman, or rather Kłosowski as he was then, took up residence on 7th January 1895, using the ground floor for his barbershop — under the rather grand name ‘The Criterion Toilet’ — and living upstairs.

The building was right in the epicentre of last year's riots.

Hope this helps!
