An area close to my heart, as a local, (I needed a private work space more than travel experience) but you can't Finsbury Park is called the 'radical suburb', Woodstock Road is a balanced mix of livliness and quiet - enough trees, cosmopolitan facilities nearby, not too overwhelming, for anyone coming from somewhere more provincial, and near the transport hub that is Finsbury Park. New flats and businesses built over the station are set to make Finsbury Park more of a destination place than being know by outsiders as mainly a transport hub. Locals have known this area's a hidden gem for a long time
