And now for a bit of History on Muswell Hill

Until 1896, Muswell Hill was predominantly rural land until a builder, James Edmondson, brought and developed six estates including The Limes, The Elms, Fortis House, Wellfield, North Lodge and Hillfield.

In the middle of the 19th century, farmland to the east of the area was sold for the construction of Alexandra Palace. This in turn led to the construction of the connecting railways in the area, including Finsbury Park station.
