In the years we’ve lived here, I’ve found that more and more families are moving into the area. There are more people walking in the parks and more people with pets. With this, new restaurants and shops have moved in and we’ve enjoyed the new variety.
Transport
We are situated between 4 stations. Arsenal Station is the closest serving the Piccadilly line. This is a quick > 20 min journey into central London. There is also the Drayton Park station with Great Northern Line service to Old Street in > 15. Finsbury Park station is about a 10minute walk and has Victoria line, Piccadilly line and national rail services. All very convenient!
Community
There are many couples and families around this area. It tends to be quite quiet and definitely has a neighborhood vibe. I would also say that most people own in our specific area own but we know that there are several renting options.
Amenities
I love the range of local shops. From Godfrey’s butcher, to Bourne’s fishmonger, to La fromagerie, to Miss Pems florist and the list goes on. There not only is everything you could need but such great local flare. There are also a selection of amazing restaurants whether you’re looking for a cafe or a nice dinner. We love Beam, Top Cuvée, Finks, and Westerns Laundry. I do wish there were a few more quality pubs around. My 2 favorite are; the Bank of Friendship. They have a wide selection of craft beer and gin and have a great garden in the back. However, they don’t serve food. The Highbury Barn is a great pub serving food from some of the local shops. There are several parks in the area as well. My favorites are Clissold Park and Highbury Fields. Both are a great place to grab a coffee and take a walk with your dog, picnic with friends or go for a run/workout. All in all it’s a great neighborhood with many local shops with anything you could need.
Great central location and lots to do
Always feel safe coming home and that everything you need is so close
Transport
Transport is also really good as very close to highbury and Islington tube for Victoria line, Piccadilly line stations of Holloway Road and arsenal as well as national rail (brand new trains) direct into the city. Highbury is becoming more cycle friendly with the new layouts on Highbury corner and cycle lanes being added to existing roads with the low traffic neighbourhood plans being implemented.
Community
Parking usually available with the exception of match days where it is a little harder. There is a mixture of owners and renters who need to be close to the city to work. Plenty of families around too.
Amenities
Great range of local restaurants from delicious high end to tasty fast bites. Lots of high street shops down upper street and Holloway Road and boutiques scattered around too. Great parks such as Highbury fields nearby and Clissold park a 20 min walk away.
Nature's nest hidden in London
The area is very suitable for families with children and pets because of the Clissold park. The area has rich vegetation, minimal pollution and less than average crime rate. The atmosphere matches the bohemians and naturalist with a high than average income and single professionals that buddy up with at least one or two professionals to rent flats as the rent prices are quite high and on top of them is the very expensive council tax. However they will enjoy running in the park and being in a very close to the nature area with good transport connections.
Transport
The tube is quite far for a relatively elderly person. Arsenal Tube station is 13 mins away, Finsbury Park Station is ever farer. In terms of buses they are quite frequent (every 10 mins) and are well connected to the city centre (N19, 341, 141), clean, but they usually have delays or come 1-2 mins earlier. During rush hour is a challenge to be able to get into a bus as way many people than space. Night buses are frequent enough and reliable. The traffic is quite quite during the rush hours and create delays to the buses.
Community
Bin collections are quite regular, good quality of the air because of the rich vegetation, lots of squirrels and animals that make the area very pleasant and natural as opposed to the city centre. The anti-social behavious and sexual assaults are rare as opposed to other parts of London, the traffic noise is diminished by the vegetation. Most of the people in the area are renters, single professionals that share 2 double bedroom flats and mostly families with kids or pets. The area is too expensive for students.
Amenities
It is a relatively safe area with lots of families and pets as there is Clissold park in the neighbourhood. There are good bus connections to the city centre (19, 341, 141). Buildings are relatively old with poor roofs and isolation. The council tax is one of the most expensive in London and does not reflect the amenities of the area. There are plenty of grocery shops, supermarkets and post offices around. The quality of the area is good because of the rich vegetation. I only recommend the area if you are a professional with an above the average salary, if you have kids or pets.
Finsbury park is popular
