Percy House is synonymous with the history of Tottenham Hotspur. The building was commissioned by Sir Hugh Smithson, Duke of Northumberland, the inheritor of the fortune and lands of the Percy family of Northumberland in the early 1740s. His ancestor, Sir Henry Percy, commonly known as ‘Harry Hotspur’ inspired Tottenham Hotspur’s name and its famous cockerel emblem.
The building was fully renovated with the support of the Heritage Lottery Fund and sits at the heart of the re-development of North Tottenham, providing a permanent home to the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation – the Club’s official charitable body, that has been creating life-changing opportunities for local people
In its current form, Percy House acts as a major community, enterprise, and skills hub for the community, providing a range of employment advice services to deliver jobs locally. Over 4,000 jobs for local people have been delivered across a range of sectors as a direct result of the stadium development
