My house is in a residential street in North London but within a few minutes walk you will find great food, entertainment and essentials.<br />See also my Guidebook: "Recommendations within walking distance" (click on my profile)<br />Stroud Green Road joins the station to the residential streets. It is 5 minutes walk away. Here you will find many great restaurants representing all cuisines, for example several Pizzerias, Indian (including vegetarian),  Chinese, Thai, Afro-Caribbean, Fish & chips, Mexican, Spanish, Kebab, Nandos and my favourite Peteks. Also there are lovely cafes of different types and many good pubs. The best pub, The Faltering Fullback is 2 mins away a little off the beaten track (well for London).<br />Stroud Green Road also has many grocery stores, hardware shops, hairdressers, barbers, chemists, doctor's surgery, a herbal & Chinese medicine centre, Thai massage, a tattoo and piercings parlour, gift shops and a post office (bureau de change for some currencies).<b
I have lived in Finsbury Park for over 25 years. My home is a typical Victorian Terrace House. 
I love rabbits and have two rescue rabbits called Paprika and Luca. Both are elderly being 8 and a half and 9 years old. They are house rabbits and so live in the living room. Perhaps ironically, I would not let them into my "Rabbit Room", which is a bit like a museum for rabbit memorabilia. The collection has about 2,000 items.
I like swimming and did my second swimathon in 2012 andI  completed the 5 kilometres in 1hour 52minutes and 49seconds which was just 7 or 8 minutes more than 10 years earlier. 
A few years ago I moved from the pool into Open Water, swimming mainly at the nearby Stoke Newington West Reservoir. 
I have done, “The Welsh Swim”, swimming 3.9km (2.4 miles) in the sea at Tenby; The Henly "Club to Pub"; The Wales Open Water Estuary Swim, across the Towy from Ferryside to Llanstefan and in 2019, I did the "Dock 2 Dock" a 10km swim at London Royal Docks. That one took me 4 hours 33mins, but I was not last (88/94)! 
For many years I have been tracing my family tree and for one line, have found my 9th great grandfather, who was born about 1635. This interest in genealogy has also led me to start a one-name study for the surname Pullum, my paternal grandmother's maiden name. Luckily I live near the London Metropolitan archives.
I am in a pub quiz team and sometimes write and host the quiz in my local pub The Faltering Fallback.
I sometimes like decorating in an "interesting" style and as well as the Rabbit Room, my bedroom is the vampire room and has a dungeon door. (I used to be in the London Vampyre Group). The upstairs landing, is decorated to look like a pirate ship (complete with rigging). The rest of the house is quite normal!
I have a small garden which has multiple arches and a rockery next to what I call my pond, but friends say is a puddle.
I would like guests to enjoy their time at my house  by giving them their privacy but also helping them explore the many places the local area and the rest of London has to offer.
I am DBS cleared as I used to be a doctor in A&E.
