About

Highbury Fields is the largest open space in the London Borough of Islington, anchored by a wide grass square with paths that cross it. The park contains tennis courts, a bowling green and a children's playground, and is used for informal sports and local events through the year. Plane and lime trees line parts of the park, and a simple network of footpaths links the green to surrounding streets.

The area around Highbury Fields is mainly residential, with terraces and villas from the late 18th and 19th centuries facing the park. Highbury Fields road and nearby crescents provide direct access from the surrounding streets, and small local shops and cafés sit a short walk away. The pattern of railings, garden forecourts and narrow pavements gives the district a clear town-square feel while keeping the park as the focal point.
