Highbury Fields is a handsome open green in north London, notable for its excellent outdoor swimming pool (one of the few free outdoor pools in London), tennis courts, and a relaxed, genuinely local atmosphere. It lacks the grand features of bigger parks but has a real neighbourhood warmth, especially on summer evenings when locals gather on the grass. The free lido is a genuine hidden gem that many Londoners outside the area don't know about.
