Beneath Finsbury Park

  Really dislike the way the londonist have laid out that page, lots of random images of things and not even any headers for specific locations.
  
  Worst of all they've displayed minimised versions of the images, here are the Finsbury images in their full glory:

  I hate what Londonist has become in general.
  
  Those are great images though.

  It's weird, isn't it? Since moving here I've been wondering about its mixture of low-cost blandness and obvious advertorials, which is quite bizarre when compared to its parent blog, Gothamist, which is sharply-written, on-the-pulse and edgy. Any idea why?
  
  (And yes, the images are lovely.)

  Cost cutting I guess. Diamond Geezer's takedown is rather insightful:

  Anybody know exactly where this is? Is it actually under Finsbury Park or is it the Covered Reservoir just off Ferme Park Road?

  I always though it was below the little playground near the cafe?

  Thanks. Very interesting.
  
  There's a map here but not sure how accurate the pin is.

  Think it is where the pin is. It is obvious when you have a look. The Tennis courts where originally there before they moved to the current location. This is where I think the model village used to be.

  Down at the SS gate there used to be a speakers corner that was frequented by Oswald and his black shirts.
