Highbury Fields

The park is a popular thoroughfare for people walking to the nearby Emirates Stadium.

John Dawes bought much of the demesne and began the residential development of Highbury.

[3] Sir Francis Ronalds, lived and worked at number 1 Highbury Terrace between 1796 and 1813.

The houses were pairs of large Italianate villas, with rich and varied decorations in stucco.
