Finsbury Park

Finsbury Park is a Zone 2 Inner North London location with great transport links, actual green spaces and lots of things to do. Add pretty houses, tree lined streets and more places to eat and drink than you can shake a (baguette) stick at and you have a rather lovely place to live, work and play. An array of good pubs, coffee houses and the pull of the burgeoning restaurant scene have seen young families, creative professionals and couples move to the area in their droves. A neighbour of the more upmarket Highbury and the decidedly grittier Manor House, Finsbury Park is like that cool cousin you really wanted to be friends with when you were a kid – friendly, unassuming and quietly trendy. The area has a longstanding musical and arts heritage running through its veins, which goes some way to explaining that undercurrent of ‘cool’ that you just can’t quite place your finger on.

No speak Americano? Luckily, these guys do. They’ll even paint you like one of those French girls...well, not really, but they do paint unique rosettes into cups of what can only be described as liquid joy. Also, there was this one time that Ed the Barista had this epic moustache. It doesn’t affect the coffee whatsoever but we don’t like to let him forget it. I mean we did take photos of it and put it all over Instagram. Anyway, now that’s over, back to the coffee. It’s pretty damn good. Try it for yourself. It’ll help warm you up from the inside and get over the loss of the moustache. They also do wicked food, which you can either enjoy whilst sat admiring the wartime paraphernalia or from the comfort of the replica Air Raid Shelter in their back garden. Oh and they’re licensed, so you can get boozed up too. It’s all rather spiffing, isn’t it old boy!
