Estate and Letting Agents in Finsbury Park

Finsbury Park is an area in North London that grew around an important railway interchange near the borders of the London Boroughs of Islington, Haringey, and Hackney.

The area is centred on Finsbury Park station and is becoming increasingly popular because of its major bus, rail and tube interchange and a nearby 110-acre public park of the same name. The surrounding area has a cosmopolitan feel, which is reflected by the wide variety of shops, bars and restaurants.

Stadium Residential is affiliated with, and a participating member of the industry’s leading regulatory bodies, NAEA Propertymark and ARLA Propertymark, and it subscribes to the National Federation of Property Professionals Client Money Protection Scheme.

Why Live in Finsbury Park?

The area attracts families, couples, and singles alike. This is partially due to the £5 million restoration and improvement programme at Finsbury Park, funded by the Heritage Lottery in 2005. In recognition of the incredible transformation, the Park was awarded the prestigious Green Flag Award in 2007 and has retained it ever since. The area is fantastic for families as there are a number of top schools and nurseries in the area.

For football fans, Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium is a short walk from the station – perfect for match days.

There are fantastic travel options from Finsbury Park, including the intermodal interchange station, which consists of a National Rail station, a London Underground station and two bus stations, all of which are interconnected.

The Piccadilly and Victoria underground lines serve the station, making central London, Kings Cross Station and other popular locations easily accessible.

Things to do in Finsbury Park

Finsbury Park is best known for its proximity to Emirates Stadium and, of course, for its impressive public park. It’s one of the first of the great London parks laid out in the Victorian era, bordering Finsbury Park, Harringay, Stroud Green and Manor House. The park has a mix of open ground, gardens and arboretums for people to explore at their leisure. There’s also a lake, a children’s play area, a café, an art exhibition space, and plenty of sports facilities.

Make no mistake, though, there’s more to this area than a park and a stadium. For example, Finsbury Park is excellent for those who love café culture, and there are several independent cafes where residents can enjoy a cup of coffee and watch the world go by. There are also some excellent restaurants, such as Pasta Remoli, where customers can select their own pasta, sauce, and even type of cheese.

Great pubs like The Blackstock sum up the personality of the area: a lively spot for a drink and for dancing to DJ sessions at the weekend. If you’re into fine wines, you’ll also appreciate having Oak Wine Store on your doorstep.

Of course, all of London’s main attractions are on offer too, with South Bank just a short distance away by train and places like the London Dungeon right on the doorstep.
