Finsbury Park: Finsbury Park station, looking south, in pouring rain and strong winds at 13.01 on New Year's Day, 1st January 2025. This station is an interchange with the London Underground Piccadilly and Victoria Lines and a multitude of local TfL bus services. The line here opened in 1850 but this station did not open until 1861 as Seven Sisters Road and renamed in 1869 at the same time as the nearby Hornsey Wood was opened to the public and renamed Finsbury Park and which also gave its name to this north London neighbourhood.
