Finsbury Park

Victorian platform buildings at Finsbury Park, looking north, on 25th February 2023. The line was opened by the Great Northern Railway in 1850 but this station was not opened until 1st July 1861 and known as Seven Sisters Road. On 22nd August 1867, it became the junction for the Edgware, Highgate & London Railway, only part of which became a section of the LU Northern Line. Two years later, nearby Hornsey Wood was opened to the public and renamed Finsbury Park and the station was renamed accordingly on 15th November 1869.
