The large public park which gives the area its name was one of the first of the great London parks that appeared in Victorian times. It was designed in the 1850s but was not actually completed until a little while later, in 1869. The park's name is explained by the fact that it was designed for the recreational use of the people of Finsbury, which at that time was a large London borough stretching from east central London all the way to the new park's southern boundary. Today, most of Finsbury has been swallowed up by the borough of Islington, but the con ...

The earliest records of Muswell Hill date from the 12th Century. At this time the Bishop of London, who was the Lord of the Manor of Hornsey, owned the area and granted 65 acres (263,000 m²), located to the east of Colney Hatch Lane, to a newly formed order of Nuns.

The story has it that a Scottish King was cured of disease after drinking the water of the spring/well and that this led to the area becomin ...

In 1403 the Corporation of London approved the formation of a Guild of stationers. At this time stationers were either booksellers or limners.

Printing gradually displaced manuscript production and by the time that the Guild received a royal charter of incorporation in 1557 it was in effect a Printers' Guild. In 1559 it became the 47th livery ...

This shop front was built in July 2004 by Chris Ostwald as a homage to Spanish Architect Antoni Gaudi. The shop, a new art gallery and art materials shop on the northern arm of Muswell Hill Broadway, has had an enforcement notice served by Haringey Council, to force its demolition, as the front was built without planning permission. The shop front is now a hotly debated local issue. A compromise seems to have been reached in the the Council issuing guidelines for modification to the front. The matter is still currently under discussion. Nearest places: Wood Green HornseySee also:
