Occasional news from and about Highbury Fields, London N5. (This is neither an HFA nor an Islington Council account.)
On this day in 1987, thirty-one people lost their lives in the fire at King’s Cross St Pancras Underground station. To read the report of that disaster is harrowing. I still nod my head to this memorial as I pass. Remember and learn.

London is a place that truly values diversity, inclusion, equality and opportunity – and is a shining success because of it.
I can only imagine that some political commentators don’t like our city because it’s an engine of social progress.

Please be aware that Nazis will be marching in central London today, with a rally in Westminster/Whitehall. There will be a counter-demonstration too. I can’t believe I have to write this in 2025, but please take care and avoid the area unless you are on a stewarded anti-fascist demonstration.

News of racist and sexist abuse from Barnard Park, Islington’s least welcoming green space. It was the only space in Islington afaik to have George Crosses lining the road last week. Coincidence, anyone?

Highbury and Islington station seems to have opened, and Mildmay and Windrush trains are running. No service on the Victoria line nor the Northern City (Moorgate) line.
Highbury & Islington closed until around 7:30am. Mildmay and Windrush trains are running but not stopping ar H&I. Northern City line trains to/from Moorgate are not running until at least 8:15, and not clear whether the deep level platforms at H&I will be open.
In some versions of TfL’s info systems, H&I might open at 7:30am, for Mildmay and Windrush trains. Not clear whether Moorgate line platforms will be open.

Story of a phone snatch on the Fields yesterday, a white brown-haired woman in a green jacket, pinching a phone then driving off in a silver/grey car. Get in touch if this rings any bells.
