The Highbury Barn

Franks Canteen

Franks Canteen

Delicious breakfast, brunch and lunch with a changeable menu.

Blighty Coffee

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.

Highbury Arts Club

Highbury Arts Club

Amazing place, so small that you may miss it if it isn't recommended! A family run business close to Highbury Barn, perfect for breakfast, brunch or dinner. They have now started doing jazz nights on a Thursday too.

Girasole

A fantastic addition to the area, I love this Italian deli and café because of its tasty food and personable service.

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.

Rowans Tenpin Bowl

This is a legendary late-night hotspot in Finsbury Park. It is open until 2:30am Friday and Saturday and has karaoke too.

Out of the Attic

A fab place for vintage finds and antiques, the stock is often spilling out onto the pavements.

The Arsenal

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.

Street N4

Burgers, hot dogs and burritos with cocktails and beer!

Tiny little family run café with delicious Lebanese food - it's a real surprise!

The prettiest tailors in North London?

Why not explore the nearby areas of Finsbury Park, Highbury, Holloway, Newington Green, Canonbury, Tufnell Park, Stoke Newington, Archway, Caledonian Road and De Beauvoir Town

"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."

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

Vikki Broad

Holloway Road has great connections to central London along the Piccadilly line.

Imogen Harrison-Broadley

London Metropolitan University is one of a whopping 22 universities in London!

What locals say about Arsenal

  1. I really like living in Arsenal because of the nice restaurants and cafes, the friendly people and the general feel of the area. The transport links are also great too!

About Arsenal

Arsenal is a quiet residential area located in Highbury, north-central London. Arsenal tube station is on the Piccadilly Line in Zone 2 between Holloway Road and Finsbury Park. Originally known as Gillespie Road, it was renamed in 1932 after Arsenal Football Club, who at the time played at the nearby Arsenal Stadium. It is the only Tube station named directly after a football club. The station is located in a residential area, away from any main roads, and is considerably less busy than other stations on the same stretch of line.
