Finsbury Park, London
We live in a Victorian terraced house in a quiet street and tree lined neighbourhood. Our house has a ground floor with a living and dining room, a kitchen, a utility area with washing machine, and a bathroom and shower. Upstairs we have 4 bedrooms over 2 floors (2 double bedrooms, 1 single bedroom and one children`s room with a bunk bed.) Light floods the house through the large sash windows, and we have a well kept small garden where you can have a leisurely breakfast or lunch (weather permitting!) and sit and read the papers. Nearby there are parks within walking distance, and the nearest cafes, delis and supermarkets are about 7 minutes walk away (or a very short bus ride). Across the road there is a small playground for little children and a few metres down the road is the entrance to a tranquil nature reserve called Parkland Walk, formed where a disused railway line used to run in the 19th century from Finsbury Park to HIghgate.
We have everything you need here for a comfortable stay. It`s a family home - we have two primary age boys, so we are well equipped here for kids aged 5-10.
About the location
Crouch End and Finsbury Park are lively urban areas with plenty of nice coffee shops, cafes, restaurants, wine bars, supermarkets and shops. In Crouch End there are two cinemas (a Picturehouse and an independent Arts Cinema), a leisure centre with pool and lido, some lovely parks and many independent shops. There are also two gyms.
We are close to many open spaces: Highgate, Hampstead Heath, Alexandra Palace and others, which can be reached by bus.
We are on two bus routes and are a walk away from Finsbury Park tube, from which you can be in the centre of London in 20 minutes or less. So we are really well located for travelling around London. We are also 5 minutes walk away from a London Overground station.
This area is great for independent travellers who want to stay somewhere in London with a bit of a villagey feel, and also for families with small children. It is a lively area, but our street is quiet and peaceful and we can hear the birdsong in our garden every day - an ideal combination!
