Info
Finsbury is a district of Central London, England.
The area is a sub-district of Clerkenwell in the London Borough of Islington.
Finsbury was a manor which give its name to two much larger administrative areas: Finsbury Division of the Ossulstone Hundred of Middlesex, from the 17th century until 1900 and its successor until 1965 in a small part of its southern area, the Metropolitan Borough of Finsbury. Finsbury has given its name to an infantry unit — the Finsbury Rifles (originally known as the Clerkenwell Rifles) which saw distinguished service in several conflicts.
The area should not be confused with Finsbury Park, a public space roughly three miles to the north and which gives its name to its surrounding mainly residential area.
