Sejarah

Sebelum taman

Taman ini telah dilandskapkan di lampau timur laut apa yang terdahulunya kawasan hutan jarang di Manor atau Prebend Brownswood. Ia adalah sebahagian dari suatu luas terbentang besar hutan jarang digelar Hornsey Wood yang telah dipotong lanjut dan sebelum itu digunakan untuk tanah ragutan rumput sewaktu Zaman Pertengahan. Pada pertengahan kurun kelapanbelas sebuah bilik teh telah membukakan anak bukit tanah di mana Taman Finsbury Park terletak. Warga London akan mengembara keluar untuk menlarikan diri dari asap ibu negara dan menikmati peninggalan terakhir Hornsey Wood tua. Lebih kurang pada 1800 bilik-bilik teh ini telah dibangunkan ke sebuah bandungn yang lebih besar yang menjadi gelaran Hornsey Wood House/Tavern. Sebuah tasik juga dibina di atas anak bukit dengan air dipam dari New River berhampiran. Ada juga kebotan, suatu deretan tembakan dan seni memanah, dan mungkin cock fighting dan sukan berdarah lain. Hornsey Wood Tavern telah dimusnahkan dalma proses membuat kawasan ini menjadi sebuah taman, tetapi tasik telah diperbesarkan. Meskipun, sekali taman telah dibuka, sebauh pub di sebarang jalan dari kemasukan timurnya di sepanjang Seven Sisters Road menggelarkan dirinya Hornsey Wood Tavern selepas yang terdahulunya (pub telah dinamakan semula Alexandra Dining Room, tetapi perniagaannya ditutup pada April 2007. Ia telah berikutnya diruntuhkan.).

Penubuhan taman

During the early part of the second quarter of the nineteenth century, following developments in Paris, Londoners began to demand the creation of open spaces as an antidote to the ever-increasing urbanisation of London. In 1841 the people of Finsbury in the City of London petitioned for a park to alleviate conditions of the poor. The present-day site of Finsbury Park was one of four suggestions for the location of a park. Originally to be named Albert Park, the first plans were drawn up in 1850. Renamed Finsbury Park, plans for the park's creation were finally ratified by an Act of Parliament in 1857. Despite some considerable local opposition, the park was formally opened on Saturday 7 August 1869. Although the park's name was taken from the area where the nineteenth century benefactors who created it lived, Finsbury Park had earlier been part of an area that bore the name as part of the Finsbury division of the Ossultone Hundred.

Through the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries the park was a respectable and beautifully manicured space for people to relax and exercise. By the early twentieth century, it was also becoming a venue for political meetings including pacifist campaigns during the First World War. During World War II, it hosted anti-aircraft guns and was one of the gathering points for heavy armour prior to the D-Day invasions.

Despite decline during the 1970s, recent lottery funding has enabled something of a renaissance in the park's fortunes.

Taman dan muzik

The park became an established music venue. Notable events have included:

  • It was the site of a comeback concert by the Sex Pistols during their 1996 Filthy Lucre Tour.
  • In 1992 at the Madstock concert, Morrissey was heckled off stage by the crowd after performing his song "National Front Disco". Many fans took exception to the song as they believed that it had a pro-racism message, and Morrissey himself was seen on stage flailing a Union Jack, which is often used by far-right groups.
  • In 1997, KISS performed there for the last show of their hugely successful Alive/Worldwide Tour.
  • In 2002, Oasis used the park for a gig during their 2002 world tour.
  • Also in 2002, New Order played at the park, which features on a live DVD '511'
  • In September 2003 rap-metal band Limp Bizkit played a huge free show in the park to make up for a cancelled UK date.
  • In spring 2007, Groove Armada filmed their music video for the song Song 4 Mutya featuring Mutya Buena at the park.
  • Following their Christmas Number One, Rage Against the Machine played a free gig on 6 June 2010 at the park.

Beautiful green space for exercising plus a free open air gym. Not to mention multiple play areas to keep the kids busy. What more could one ask for?

One of my favourite parks due to the diversity of activities here. Head to the far East side of the park past the boats for some space from the crowds

The playground here will keep kids amused for hours. There are fast slides going into the sandpit and really tricky climbing equipment to challenge older children, plus lots for toddlers to enjoy.

What's not to love about London parks. And it is where I first playing Tag Rugby in London, helped make my London experience. Give it a try!
