Affectionately known as ‘Little Algiers’, Finsbury Park is home to London’s largest Algerian population, as well as plenty of students, surly youths with low-slung trousers, boozy Arsenal fans and priced-out-of-Crouch-End mumsy-types. It’s also starting to develop cultural hubs, as canny renters realise they can save a few bob, still have access to two tube lines, and have a massive lovely park to enjoy. Party animals will appreciate the warehouse parties which regularly rumble on all weekend, while Finsbury Park itself is a vast, sprawling patch that’s got a bit of everything for everyone.
