Discover the best of Finsbury Park with this insider’s guide.
A buzzy North London hub, Finsbury Park offers all the best of London. You’ll find shops for everything you need, restaurants for any occasion, and a district that is a melting pot of cultures.
That’s actually quite appropriate as Finsbury Park grew to prominence as a convergence point of all the expanding boroughs around it; a meeting place for people on their way about London.
As the world has become more global, so have Finsbury Park’s residents.
No where is that better reflected than in the neighborhood’s local restaurants. Bangladeshi curry houses, Cypriot kebabs, and African restaurants to boot.
A visitor should try them all, then perhaps a stroll through the park that gives the area its name to walk the meal off.
