Manor House is a station on the Piccadilly line of the London Underground, on the boundary between Travelcard Zone 2 and Zone 3.

Manor House, also known as Woodberry Down, is an area of North London in the northwest corner of the London Borough of Hackney. It lies immediately east of Finsbury Park, north of Stoke Newington, west of Stamford Hill and Seven Sisters, and south of Harringay. The area was originally known as Woodberry Down. However, the construction of the Seven Sisters Road and the consequent establishment of the Manor House Tavern gave rise to the alternative name Manor House Crossroads and with the arrival of the tube station in 1932, the area immediately around the tube station began to be known as Manor House. The demolition of the once very fashionable area of Woodberry Down and its replacement with one of London's biggest public housing estates resulted in 'Woodberry Down Estate' being used to refer to the public housing area and 'Manor House' for the area beyond. With the regeneration of the area during the early part of the 21st Century, the area is now being referred to once again by its nineteenth-century name of 'Woodberry Down'.

Hospitality in the Park is an outdoor one-day music festival held annually in Finsbury Park, London, England. Held since 2016, when it launched it was the first outdoor event in the UK based solely around drum and bass music. Taking place over the course of a single day, previous festivals have featured over 150 artists and performers spread across a multitude of arenas, representing the spectrum of drum and bass music. Despite the increased maximum capacity of 12,000 revellers, every event so far has sold-out. Hospitality in the Park is run by record label Hospital Records. The festival attracts a worldwide audience, with many people travelling great distances to reach the event. Record label boss Tony Colman (aka London Elektricity) offered a prize at the 2017 event for the guests who had travelled furthest to get there. Entrants included people from all over Europe, visitors from California and Canada, and the eventual winners, who had come from Australia and New Zealand respectively.

The Neighbours is a sculpture by Siegfried Charoux. It was commissioned in 1957 using funds set aside by London County Council for public art in its housing projects and unveiled in 1959 at the Quadrant Estate in Islington, N5, London, near Clissold Park. It became Grade II listed building in April 1998. The sculpture stands approximately 4 feet (1.2 m) high, on a low brick plinth. It depicts two life-size human figures, possibly intended to represent working men, sitting alongside each other on a bench. It was made using synthetic resin mixed with powdered stones, supported by a steel armature and fibreglass matting, creating an appearance similar to terracotta or cemented iron. It was renovated in 2009, in time for the 50th anniversary of its unveiling. A 7 inches (180 mm) bronze maquette was sold for £2,250 by Christie's in 2011.

South Hornsey was a local government district in Middlesex, England from 1865 to 1900. The district was formed in 1865 when the Local Government Act 1858 was adopted in the southern part of the parish of Hornsey. South Hornsey Local Board was formed to govern the area.The majority of the district (172 acres) consisted of the Brownswood Park area south east of Finsbury Park. There were also two detached portions with a total area of 60 acres (240,000 m2) which were surrounded by the parishes of Stoke Newington and Islington. Under the Local Government Act 1888, Islington and Stoke Newington became part of the County of London, and the outlying parts of South Hornsey became exclaves of Middlesex within the new county. The Local Government Act 1894 reconstituted the area as an urban district, and South Hornsey Urban District Council replaced the local board. South Hornsey became a separate civil parish at the same time.The London Government Act 1899 divided the County of London into metropolitan boroughs and provided for boundary revisions to provide more effective administration. Accordingly, South Hornsey Urban District was abolished in 1900, with the bulk of its area included in the Metropolitan Borough of Stoke Newington (with a population of 16,703), and a small unpopulated part to the neighbouring Borough of Islington.The records of South Hornsey Local Board and Urban District are held by the archives department of the London Borough of Hackney.
