10 Nature & Parks in Islington That You Shouldn't Miss
The crown jewels, Buckingham Palace, Camden Market…in London, history collides with art, fashion, food, and good British ale. A perfect day is different for everyone: culture aficionados shouldn't miss the Tate Modern and the Royal Opera House. If you love fashion, Oxford Street has shopping galore. For foodies, cream tea at Harrod’s or crispy fish from a proper chippy offers classic London flavor. Music and book buffs will love seeing Abbey Road and the Sherlock Holmes Museum (at 221B Baker Street, of course).

We were on another day out, this time on route to walk the Parkland Walk which runs from Alexandra Palace to Finsbury Park. We exited the tube station, and entered the park by the impressive gated entrance and wandered up the magnificent tree lined avenue that was adjacent to the very busy Seven Sisters road, to think this affluent park is next to a busy road you think you were somewhere else. We made it up to the cafe, and had a refreshment pit stop while sitting by the boating ???? lake, the park has so much to offer, after we had our break we continued pass the London Marathon running track before walking to the Manor House tube exit, if as we did visit the station, it’s exceedingly good ???? as some well known cake maker once said,the architecture and design of the station is a feet in itself. We continued on the tube on our journey,but in summary this lovely park will keep you occupied for a couple of hours So as the title above says GO BURY YOURSELF FIN THIS PARK we did a we loved it.

This is the largest park in the Borough of Islington at nearly 12 acres and it is 1 minute's walk from Highbury Corner but it is also very hidden being completely surrounded by residential properties. It has a large green area with many mature trees and is used by dog walkers or people that just want to sit on a bench and relax. There are some flowers but mainly it is a green area. There is a fenced off dog free zone, a basic park café, a large kids playground, floodlit tennis courts, a floodlit football pitch and a leisure centre with pool. The houses that surround it are beautiful too. This place is well known to locals but not visited much by tourists.
