London in a jar of beauty, bold and peace.

The place is truly amazing, with a beautifully diverse community, stay long enough and you'll be having you're daily conversations with your shopkeeper and an occasional wave to neighbours. With the thought-provoking Parkland Walk hanging over the nature Concrete Hive you get a *lot* of both worlds, when you need some fresh air you can take a walk of that refreshing trail and pet some dogs on your way (a clearly great place to please your pets). If you want a bit of excitement take one bus, one train, one cycle and you'll be at the heart of the city. Want to swim? Tottenham lesuire center in minutes. Want to ice skate? Alexander Palace ice rink. Want to bowl? Finsbury Bowling Alley. Want Italian pizza? Papagone. Want Asian delight? Yik and Yak. Everything's in your reach with this little city of dreams, with a great mix of cultures you'll find trendy foods and clothes with traditional food and clothes across the road. This whole time, I've known not to mention one thing. Finsbury Park, a great recreational ground for absolutely anything! From Skating to Tennis, to Basketball to outdoor gyms! The park includes everything including a massive park for kids and nice walks a long ponds tree covered land's for pets and jogs. Need a challenge try cycle or jog up to Alexander Palace where you'll get the most magnificent view of the beautiful center and independent stalls with exotic and tasty foods. Go down one way off the Palace, you'll find yourself in a booming metropolis of shopping and central-ish life (Wood Green), take another turn, you get yet another park! And the peace of residency (Hornsey and Stroud Green) This area is to be left as it is being developed in the current, there is no need to add overt retail to the right of the Palace, nor residency to the left, there are perfectly divided but easily accessible sections of society where families, pets and couples can settle down, rise up or float in the middle in what really is a scaled down version of central version enhanced by the locality of it's resident, but even then once can isolate should they want to and they will be left unbothered. You are given total freedom within the walls of cohabitation and living, perfectly versatile and well structured as is. A marvel of civilisation.

Transport

There is a boatload of transport, where you'd expect central london to have alot of consistency as opposed to suburban areas, but it's quiete the opposite. The area's transport, with the 29 line taking you from Wood Green to Stroud Green, to only the Centre of Trafalgar Square with a wide array of different lines which vary in where end up, were you to have children this free transport could get them to school in seconds. The underground is amazing aswell, with alot of police making sure you're safe you can reach even further/deeper into London (bordering the outside of London!!), Rush Hour is to be expected but not on the magnitude of usual location, plus it mostly empties as the bus gets through its line and if choosing N4, you can snatch a seat early on at the bus terminal! The cleanliness of the Buses and Trains are nothing to complain about whatsoever, simply clean as can be, can't talk much about a blank canvas.

Community

My street is a peaceful one, whilst not crazy on bin presence the lack of popularity of the street makes for a clean one, seeing as all those who travel the road are residents nothing disruptive goes on, especially considering it is mostly families and couple who live there, though I can't say much about their finance I can't say they are bothersome but they are friendly

Amenities

Only 5 minutes away from me is a small but amazingly diverse street of restaurants and essential stores (down from Crouch Hill, up from the station). There's also alot access efficient public transport and if you're wiring to drive, cycle or travel you'll find even more massive high streets within minutes.

The perfect balance between town and city

It’s a well maintained area that feels more like a village or town than a city. You could happily spend your weekends, days here and never visit the city centre. You have access to all the amenities you need locally as well as close proximity to parks for exercise. My only complaint would be that the prices to buy are quite high!

Transport

Close proximity to Finsbury Park station which is well connected to central London. There is the overground at crouch hill which is easy to take you across to Hampstead Heath. The mainline trains running through Haringey can provide a speedy connection to Finsbury Park or even into Moorgate, or the buses are regular and rarely too busy, with the exception of peak rush hour.

Community

Excellent street - regular bin collections and rarely see litter. Very considerate neighbours made up of families and young professionals. As well as some older couples who have lived here for a longtime. Very quiet street at night, uncommon to here sirens or alarms.

Amenities

Wonderful area to live with quiet roads, leafy streets, close access to Finsbury Park and nature walks. Great range of shops and restaurants along Stroud green road or in crouch end to suit a range budgets. I’ve never had to walk more than 20 minutes to pick up an item I need, even some of the more obscure! There is a real community feel to the area, it is welcoming to all ages, from young professionals to families to retirees. I hope to continue living here for many years - honestly couldn’t recommend it enough.

We love to have more cafe and cinema to be open, also we want galleries.

Transport

The transport is quite good in my area. There is to bus run through my area and take to underground also over ground train 5 minutes walk away from me.

Community

It is very quit area and my very close to the park close to play ground as well. Just love the area.

Amenities

There aren't many shops and restaurants and cafe around my area. There's on off licence shop and pizza hut. There's one Indian restaurant, they do only take way , but it is delicious the food. I wish they could open some nice cafe.
