Finsbury Park station

Good public transport is one reason for living near Finsbury Park station, which goes back to 1861. It has two underground lines and a 5-minute overground journey to King's Cross. On match days (Arsenal's home stadium is nearby) the tube station is overcrowded and the train station is busy as fans head northwards home -Turn around and you see the "now controversial" Finsbury Park mosque(raided in 2003 by "only shoeless Moslem police officers") and now renamed North London Central Mosque.
