Property Description
What is the location of the building?
Stretched along Seven Sisters Road, Patchworks is nestled in Finsbury Park, a vibrant neighbourhood centred on its namesake park that lies within the London Borough of Islington. The multicultural area provides a wide array of dining options, including traditional pubs and global eateries.
The park itself is only a 10-minute walk away from the complex. Laid out in the Victorian era, Finsbury Park features formal gardens, mature trees, and an arboretum to enjoy during a walk or a morning jog. The green scenery is enhanced by a wonderful lake, a playground, an exhibition space, and an impressive collection of sports facilities, including football pitches, a cycling club, tennis and basketball courts, a bowling green, a skatepark, and a stadium. The park even features “American” sports facilities such as an American football field and diamonds for softball and baseball. Moreover, it takes 12 minutes to reach Emirates Stadium, home to Arsenal FC, for those who prefer watching sports rather than playing.
Patchworks is just a short walk away from Finsbury Park Station, served by London Underground and mainline rail, which brings you to King’s Cross St Pancras in 4 minutes and Waterloo in 19.
