Finsbury Park is a ticking time-bomb and it is only a matter of time until someone is killed. There is obvious ant- social behaviour that happens in the park - drug dealing, violence etc.
I have been a Hackney And Islington resident over the past 15 years and just can't understand why - especially given the money the concerts etc must generate - why Finsbury Park is such a ferrel and dangerous place.

Perception is an interesting beast. The perception of safety (or not) is fuelled by such scaremongering headlines as this thread.
I've been a regular user of Finsbury Park for over 20 years - in that time it has become nothing but safer and better. The amount of anti-social behaviour I witness is minimal - and this is both from the perspective of being a dog walker in the park, and a parent with young children. - Yes it could be cleaner at times - so maybe there are specific campaigns that can be run.
It's a park in an urban area - you are never going to get no crime at all. You adhere to the basic safety rules you would anywhere - lock up bikes, make sure your bag is secure etc.
It's aways horrible when someone gets attacked/robbed - but it's shocking as it happens less often than people perceive.
