The Old Dairy
This pub has an amazing history, as it used to be a creamery (hence the name!) and is in a stunning building. Food is great and it has just had a refurb, so is a lovely place to go any time of the day.

The Arsenal
Perfect stop for any Arsenal fan! Underneath the railway lines at Finsbury Park, it is open all of the time, not just match days.

Park Theatre
Locals of Finsbury Park and Stroud Green are very proud to have this new theatre in the area. It opened in 2013 and has very varied performances. It's right behind Finsbury Park Station.

The prettiest tailors in North London?

Blighty Coffee
A coffee shop with a difference! Great food, lovely staff, quirky décor and even better coffee, all in the heart of Blackstock Road. There's a lounge area and garden, complete with an air-raid shelter and table tennis, which is the perfect place to hide away from the hustle and bustle of Finsbury Park. It's more than a coffee shop, Blighty is a community.

Max's
Just opposite Crouch Hill Station, this restaurant serves ENORMOUS sandwiches and booze, perfect for an evening feast, as it is only open from 5pm in the week.

Trattoria Terra
Beautiful little Italian with fantastic food and wine, a welcoming atmosphere and very reasonable prices.
"The original main route through Holloway was for driving cattle to the meat market at Smithfield. The route was in such disrepair by the late 1200s, that the Bishop of London built a new toll road that is now the route of the A1."
The Mackenzie Garden in Finsbury Park is a peaceful spot that I like to visit when I have the time.
Vikki Broad
There's a peaceful spot along the New River, which winds unassumingly through the residential streets to Finsbury Park.

North London remains for me the essence of London living...urban and innovative against a backdrop of centuries of history...
