ID: 36443 Finsbury Park is an area of London that has grown up around an important railway interchange in north London, at the junction of the London boroughs of Islington, Haringey and Hackney.
Like many areas of London, Finsbury Park real estate is a wonderful combination of old and new with quiet leafy streets and Victorian houses, as well as a small number of new buildings.
The area is characterized by its huge eponymous Finsbury Park, which offers a peaceful retreat in the urban landscape, and where sports and social events ranging from rock concerts to festivals provide key leisure for the community. The park boasts a lake, a children's play area, a cafe and an art exhibition hall. Sports facilities include football fields, a bowling green, an athletics stadium, as well as tennis and basketball courts. Unusually for London, the park also has an American soccer field, also used for softball and baseball.
Finsbury Park is popular with young professionals who find the area more accessible than nearby Islington. It has the best transport links outside of Zone 1, with two metro lines, the main railway station and two bus stops.
