THIS DAY LAST YEAR: 20 FEB 2017 – I walked around Highbury Fields, Arsenal Stadium, Gillespie Park, and Finsbury Park.

Untitled

Highbury Fields is quite small; it is really not very impressive, just a small bit of clod inbetween densely packed houses.

There were some beautifully painted walls along the way

And a cute little gap between houses at a T-junction

Emirates Stadium (Arsenal’s home ground) is something I always see on the train but never really bothered to walk into before.

Untitled

The main feature of this space is that it is incredibly windy.

I don’t think I’ll want to be here on game days if this is any indication of the masses of crowds…

Gillespie Park

Untitled

A very linear Park

Untitled

With corners you could get lost in

It begins to look like parts of Finsbury Park along the tracks

Tumbling right back into Finsbury Park across the road
