    Hiking

    A sprawling and versatile park in north London, Finsbury Park is a popular retreat for locals and visitors alike. With a history dating back to the 19th century, the park has undergone a remarkable transformation over the years.

    Once used as a livestock market and horse racing venue, Finsbury Park was transformed in the 20th century into a place of recreation and relaxation for Londoners. Today, the park offers an impressive range of activities and amenities. The expansive lawns are perfect for a picnic with friends or families, while the large playground will delight the youngest visitors.
