Finsbury Park is an area in north London, England which grew up around an important railway interchange at the junction of the London Boroughs of Islington, Haringey and Hackney. It is not to be confused with Finsbury, which is some miles further south, in the London Borough of Islington.

[edit] The Locale

The area is centred on Finsbury Park station, a major bus, rail and tube interchange near the southern end of the 122-acre public park of the same name. Both the station and the park have seen much public investment on improvements in recent years.

The surrounding area has a definite cosmopolitan feel, as reflected by the wide variety of shops and establishments on Seven Sisters Road, Blackstock Road and Stroud Green Road. The North London Central Mosque (formerly the Finsbury Park Mosque, which drew attention for extremist activity before a change in leadership in 2003) is located here. Arsenal Football Club's new Emirates Stadium is nearby. Stroud Green is a small part of the Finsbury Park area.
