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.

There is everything you need in a small area without it being too busy or cramped. There is a nursery, primary and secondary school within 5 minutes walk of my home. It is quite an upcoming trendy area with a lot of younger people and families which I really like. The general public are very respectable and friendly. It is a very safe area, especially for animals and children. I have never felt nervous late at night going home- being a young woman that is quite an achievement. I would recommend N16 to anyone within a heartbeat. The surrounding homes are beautiful with lovely architecture full of space.
Transport
The cycle routes around N16 are brilliant. There are many buses that can get you right into town and most other destinations. There is a lack of underground stations but that is compensated with the amount of overground stations surround the area. I think it is a very feasible and easy place to travel in/out of.
Community
Most neighbours are family homes or couples- very caring and respectful. I find the streets always very peaceful and friendly. There is no traffic and no disruptions. Bin collections are always punctual.
Amenities
I absolutely love living in N16. Everything I need is right there on my doorstep- wonderful pubs and restaurants surrounded by any other facility needed. I feel spoiled by my choices. Incredible bakeries and coffee shops, fabulously fresh green grocers, tranquil parks and beautifully designed buildings with lovely aesthetics. The park is always full of happy people walking dogs or children playing in the huge playground, even a skate park! There is also a magical cemetery park filled with hundreds of routes to find each time you visit. I am lucky enough to be right next to a leisure centre and a 5 min cycle from a climbing gym! Church street is always bustling with people enjoying their morning coffees and stylish brunch’s. I feel as though nothing is missing from N16 and I am very grateful to be living here.
