    Don't bring a BBQ, it destroys the grass. Bring a rug and a picnic and enjoy the little slice of nature in Highbury.

    A thief on a motorbike snatched my phone on my way home after my morning run here. Be careful especially early morning when it's still quite dark. I still love running here though! :)

    The children's playground at Highbury Fields in Islington is popular, combining old-fashioned thrills with more recent additions, such as the flying fox and giant, web-like climbing frames. Read more

    Go here in summer and take your sausages and grill veggies with you. BBQ allowed. Consider wind directions to not get bothered by smoke.

    Lovely Park and not too overcrowded, considering it is London 😏

    BBQs are allowed here. Close to a bunch of bars, Waitrose, and the tube.

    Lots of people here on a sunny day. Dancing, chilling in the sun is great. If you like cheese walk a few hundred yards north to an amazing French cheese store

    Looks like there hasn't been a good tip since 2011. This places goes off like a frog in a sock on hot days. Get your friends down here with a bbq a$ap Rocky.

    Visit www.parkrun.org.uk and register for free before the run. And don't forget to print out your barcode and to bring it to the run.

    Looking at these fields you'd never imagine that Islington is London's least green borough. Although London is greenest city in the world.

    They say NO BBQs but it seems rarely enforced. Sizzle away!
