History
Around 1800 a tea room on the knoll became Hornsey Wood House, a tavern beside a lake. Residents of Finsbury petitioned for a park in 1841, plans for an “Albert Park” were drawn up in 1850, and the Finsbury Park Act received Royal Assent on 17 August 1857. Hornsey Wood Reservoir was completed in 1868, and the park opened in 1869. The Astoria cinema opened in 1930 and became the Rainbow concert venue in 1971. Ownership passed to Haringey Council in 1986 when the Greater London Council was wound up, and a £5 million Heritage Lottery award funded renovation from 2003.
A local problem
Local problem11+
The Parkland Walk is about 2½ miles long. Using 5 miles = 8 km, about how many kilometres is that?
Show answer
5 miles = 8 km, so 1 mile = 8 ÷ 5 = 1.6 km
2½ miles = 5 miles ÷ 2, so halve 8 km
Answer: about 4 km.

How it works
How do lessons work if you live nearby?
It starts with a short conversation with Muhammad, then a one-off assessment lesson so he can see where your child actually is, then a regular weekly lesson — in person locally in Islington or online, whichever suits your family.
01
Enquire
Tell Muhammad what your child is finding hardest. He takes this conversation himself, and it costs nothing.
02
Assessment lesson
A single lesson to establish the real starting point, in person locally in Islington or online — whichever works best for your family.
03
Weekly lesson
A regular one-to-one or two-to-one lesson, in person or online, or a pay-what-you-can online group lesson, at the same day and time each week.

Before you go
Tell Muhammad where you’re stuck.

Tell me what you are finding hardest, and I will tell you honestly whether I can help — and what the first few lessons would look like.”
