Roaming through Highbury: An Insider's Guide to London's Charming Suburb

Posted on 09/11/2024



Nestled in the northern part of London lies a hidden gem that often goes unnoticed by tourists - Highbury. This charming suburb boasts a unique blend of old and new, with its quaint streets lined with historical buildings and modern boutiques. As a local resident and self-proclaimed Highbury enthusiast, I am excited to take you on a virtual tour of this picturesque neighborhood. So put on your walking shoes and get ready to explore Highbury, one of London's best-kept secrets.

History and Culture



Highbury holds a rich history that dates back to the 13th century, when it was first mentioned in records as "Hibbebure." It was once home to the prestigious Highbury College, which produced notable alumni such as Thomas Telford, an eminent civil engineer responsible for the building of many iconic structures in Britain. Today, remnants of its past can still be seen in the grand Victorian houses and elegant Georgian squares that line its streets.

Despite its long-standing history, Highbury has managed to maintain its charm and sense of community. Its vibrant cultural scene is evident through various events held throughout the year, such as the popular Highbury Festival which showcases local artists' talents. There are also several art galleries and independent theatres in the area, providing ample opportunities to immerse yourself in Highbury's creative spirit.

Things to Do



No matter what your interests may be, there is something for everyone in Highbury. Sports enthusiasts can catch a game at the Emirates Stadium - home of Arsenal Football Club - or play a round of golf at Highbury Fields, one of London's oldest public parks. For book lovers, a visit to AA Bookshop is a must-see, offering an extensive collection of architectural books and magazines.

Foodies will be spoilt for choice with the wide range of restaurants, cafes, and pubs scattered throughout Highbury. From traditional English pubs to innovative modern eateries, there is no shortage of options for a delicious meal. One of my personal favorites is The Great Northern Railway Tavern, a historic pub that serves up classic British dishes with a contemporary twist.

Hidden Gems



As with any neighborhood, there are always hidden gems waiting to be discovered in Highbury. One such gem is the Highbury Barn, a small village-like area that offers a diverse selection of shops and services. You can find everything from a traditional butcher to a boutique florist here, making it the perfect spot to pick up some unique souvenirs or indulge in some retail therapy.

Another lesser-known attraction is Gillespie Park and Nature Reserve - a peaceful oasis in the heart of the city. Take a leisurely stroll through the meadows and woodland, and you might even catch a glimpse of some wildlife. It's hard to believe that such serene surroundings exist in the midst of London's hustle and bustle.

Pros and Cons



As with any destination, there are both pros and cons to visiting Highbury. On the positive side, its close proximity to central London makes it easily accessible by public transport - just a short tube ride away from popular tourist spots like Oxford Street and Covent Garden. Its quiet streets also provide a welcome escape from the chaos of the city.

On the other hand, being such a hidden gem means that it can often be overlooked by tourists. This also means that amenities may not be as readily available compared to busier areas. However, this is part of what makes Highbury so special - its untouched charm and authenticity.

Tips and Takeaways



Here are some tips if you're planning to visit Highbury:

- Take your time to explore - Highbury is best experienced on foot, so don't rush through it.
- Visit during the Highbury Festival for a taste of its vibrant arts and culture scene.
- Sample some local cuisine - the restaurants here are known for their high-quality food.
- Don't be afraid to wander off the beaten path and discover your own hidden gems.

In conclusion, Highbury is a charming suburb that offers a unique experience unlike any other in London. Its rich history, vibrant culture, and hidden gems make it a must-see destination for anyone looking to venture beyond the typical tourist hotspots. So why not add it to your London itinerary and see for yourself what this lovely neighborhood has to offer? You won't be disappointed.
