Thank you for your request.
At present our Gross Disposable Household Income (GDHI) figures are by region do not include a distribution of incomes of the kind you have requested. We only hold a total and per capita average for each area. This data can be found by downloading the TKI London edition of the dataset available at Regional gross disposable household income: local authorities by ITL1 region - Office for National Statistics (ons.gov.uk).
An alternative source that you might consider would be our Census records. Whilst they don't record income, there are other categories that might serve as a proxy for your research such as social class, occupation, tenure etc. Census data is readily available down to Output Area (OA) level. census.customerservices@ons.gov.uk can provide advice.
You may also find our create a custom dataset tool useful. It allows you to search the data we hold about Haringey according to your own desired variables https://www.ons.gov.uk/datasets/create.
We also produce Small Area Income Estimates (SAIE) down to the Medium Layer Super Output Areas (LSOA) level, these areas represent between 2000 and 6000 households. The most recent SAIE data available is for 2018.
The SAIE interactive map (see bulletin) or underlying data may be of interest to you. The experimental Admin-Based Income Statistics (again, for year ending 2018) also offer quite rich data in similar vein.
