Keith OsborneAn exciting area with a lively cultural scene is rising up the priority list when searching for the perfect home – and Finsbury Park, in the centre of vibrant north London, offers this in abundance. And a stone’s throw from the Finsbury Park Underground station and town centre, Telford Homes’ City North development is at the heart of London’s most diverse and exciting hotspots.
90% of apartments are already sold there, but house-hunters are still welcome to book a viewing for one of the development’s two-, three- and four-bedroom apartments, Sky Villas or penthouses.
On Saturday 26 February, between 11.00am and 4.00pm, the developer hosts an event making the launch of a new three-bedroom show home at City North. And appointment can be booked at [email protected].
Telford Homes has five top reasons for choosing to live in a new home in Finsbury Park:
Enjoy the outdoors with one of London’s first great parks on your doorstep
With the demand for outdoor green space increasing, Finsbury Park is ideal with the 110-acre Finsbury Park offering plenty to explore.
City North residents can enjoy unmatched views of the stunning park, stretching towards Alexandra Palace from their own spacious balcony or terrace or the resident’s landscaped roof garden. Plus, perfect for dog walks and weekend strolls, the iconic 4.5 mile Parkland Walk, following the old railway line up to Muswell Hill, takes residents through the greenest areas of London.
Once the summer rolls around, the park becomes a hub for music lovers, with festivals like Wireless and Community bringing the best of London living to City North’s front door.
Stay connected to the city and beyond
Finsbury Park is perfectly connected, located less than 15 minutes by tube to The City or West End. For weekend escapes National rail services from Finsbury Park station include the Eurostar from nearby St Pancras and trains to Cambridge. International travel is also easy, with direct trains available to Gatwick, and the Piccadilly line serving Heathrow.
An emerging hub for culture and creativity
Major investment in recent years into theatre, music and the arts has transformed Finsbury Park into one of the capital’s fastest-growing, cultural hubs. The local Park Theatre presents an impressive 25 productions per year and has a thriving creative learning and outreach programme to engage the local community. Rowans 10 Pin Bowling is a local institution, with an old school 10-pin bowling alley and arcade offering entertainment for all the family.
Proving itself to be at the centre of the Finsbury Park’s buzz, City North residents will find a Picture House cinema within the development itself. The centre of the lobby features a specially commissioned mural from British artist Dale Lewis celebrating the rich cultural history and the diverse communities of the local area, at the centre of the lobby.
A foodie’s heaven
The Finsbury Park area is home to a wonderfully eclectic selection of culinary options. From Friday night curry at Yak & Yeti, to iconic spot Max’s Sandwiches, there is always something for everyone on the menu.
Within the City North development, residents can find an array of culinary delights from Honest Burger, Boulangerie Bon Matin, Rosa’s Thai Café, and Neat Burger, to GAIL’s Bakery, and the Marks & Spencer’s Food Hall opening soon for a convenient weekly shop.
Something for everyone
Finsbury Park is full of opportunities to socialise and relax. From classic London pubs to chic, contemporary bars, Finsbury Park offers an exciting choice of great watering holes, with the nearby Arsenal stadium interesting atmosphere whether you’re a football fan or not. The Faltering Fullback with its sprawling outdoor area, is great for watching a match, whilst World’s End, offers board games to enjoy on a winter afternoon.
If a weekend mooch is your kind of thing, Fonthill Road, lined with boutiques and discount outlets, has a long history as one of the city’s fashion districts. With a visit to Bud Flowers for a bouquet to brighten up your new home, or New Beacon Books to fill out your bookshelf with old classics and new bestsellers, Finsbury Park has pretty much everything you need.
City North offers two-, three- and four-bedroom apartments, starting at £772,500, fitted with high-quality fixtures throughout, fully integrated Bosch appliances in the kitchen, and underfloor heating in the bathrooms. Those looking to maximise their living space must act fast to secure the last remaining penthouse, spanning 1,830 sq ft across three floors, and boasting spectacular views from the 23rd floor terrace as well as ample natural light throughout.
Additional restaurants, bars and Gymbox are still to come meaning in total, the development will include 11,781 sqm of new commercial space. As well as a 24-hour concierge service, a private resident’s rooftop lounge, Wi-Fi lounge and a 2,000 sq ft landscaped terrace available to every apartment, the new development meets the expectations of fine city living.
