It's a nice little park, today was unusually busy because of the heat, usually there are just fewer people, some with their dogs, some exercising some just relaxing on the grass....there is also an ice cream van at the lower end of the park.

What can I say? My daughter has been running around this park since she was one. For me, it's the most beautiful park in London, filled with my memories.

As with many London parks, it is great to escape the city and find nature. This little 1K loop of a park is great for walking or attending the local parkrun (Saturdays at 09:00). The children's playground is quite expansive and multi-dimensional. The surrounding area is clean and a bit posh, so you dont need to worry about personal safety. It is very close to the Highbury and Islington tube stop, making it ideal for visiting.

Gorgeous set of parks and surroundings. Perfect for jogging, outdoor workout or for walks with doggos (kids). Lots of park benches around to take a rest and read a book. Lovely views on typical old victorian London houses.

Highbury Fields is a quiet and beautiful green oasis just off the the high street. It's surrounded by a mixture of well-kept Georgian and Victorian terraced houses. There are ample public tennis courts, football pitches, basketball hoops and two good children's play area. Locals walk their dogs and stroll about with their children through the day making for a homely and peaceful atmosphere.

This is still a wonderful place, as it has been for many, many years. But... It used to be one of the few open spaces in Yee Olde Londinium Towne where one could have a barbecue, and that "facility" is now gone. (Why?) That's the reason I've downgraded my rating. ( Nowadays, nearest place to barbecue your ribs, or your halloumi, is Waterlow Park - in the designated zones, naturalich...)
