Finsbury
From Free net encyclopedia
Template:Infobox London place Finsbury is a place in the south of the London Borough of Islington.
Finsbury was an old division of the Ossulstone hundred of Middlesex. Therefore, there is a Finsbury Park some miles further north, within the division, but outside the area latterly considered to be Finsbury, which coincides with the core of the Metropolitan Borough of Finsbury.
The name as a geographical term of reference has largely fallen into disuse (if it was ever popular). It is used in building names such as Finsbury Tower and by local newspaper the Clerkenwell & Finsbury Advertiser. [1]
Finsbury is the home of the Sadler's Wells opera company.
