Finsbury Park hotels

Hotels in Finsbury Park

Close to the trendy area of Islington in north London, the Grade II listed Finsbury Park stretches for over 100 acres, right in the heart of a busy London district.

This peaceful green space was originally a natural woodland called Hornsey Wood. Seeing the need to create more public spaces, the Victorians developed Finsbury Park into the area we see today, as a “People's Park.”

Exploring the park

Visiting Finsbury Park at any time of the year will give you a different experience.

You can hire a boat on the wide, picturesque lake in the summer months, and drift along soaking up the tranquil atmosphere. And there are sporting facilities like tennis courts, football pitches and an outdoor gym for active types.

If you'd prefer a more relaxed time, stroll along the beautiful paths, perhaps making a stop at the café on your way, or even visiting the Furtherfield Gallery in the McKenzie Pavilion close to the lake. There's always something interesting to see in there, from art events to exhibitions.

Finsbury Park is famous for hosting big music events too, so it's worth seeing what's on during your stay. Previous performers have included Morrissey, Bob Dylan and KISS.

Eateries and hotels

If you're looking to truly blend all the conveniences of the capital city with beautiful scenery we'd definitely recommend checking out Finsbury Park hotels. There are plenty of boutique places to stay close to the park like the Queens Hotel, Gloucester Hotel and Pembury Hotel.

Finding somewhere to grab a bite to eat won't be difficult in this buzzing area either. Popular restaurants include Diyarbakir, a Turkish eatery, Park View Café and the Italian delights served at La Saporita.

But wherever you plan to go during your stay, take the time to really explore Finsbury Park. It's the perfect spot for a memorable trip.
