Monthly parking near Highbury.

Highbury is Islington, and Islington is controlled parking from one end to the other. On Arsenal matchdays the event restrictions around the Emirates run later still. The Victorian terraces were built long before cars, so genuine off-street space, a driveway or a lock-up behind the terrace, is scarce and worth having.

Highbury & Islington station carries the Victoria line, the Overground and trains to Moorgate, which makes the surrounding streets popular with commuters who drive the first leg. Add Arsenal on a matchday and joggers on Highbury Fields, and a reserved private space starts to look sensible.
