Everything about Finsbury totally explained

Finsbury is a small district in the south of the London Borough of Islington and north of the City of London.

Etymology

The name is first recorded as Vinisbir (1231) and means "manor of a man called Finn."
   The name as a geographical term of reference has partly been superseded in recent years by Clerkenwell and St Luke's. Although "Finsbury" is used in building names such as Finsbury Tower, the Finsbury Estate and the Finsbury Library and by local newspaper, the Clerkenwell & Finsbury Advertiser.

History

The name Finsbury has also been applied to the Finsbury division of the Ossulstone hundred of Middlesex and later the Metropolitan Borough of Finsbury in the County of London. In relation to this, there's a Finsbury Park some miles further north of the borough and within the division.
   Now-demolished Holford Square was from 1942 the controversial location of a statue of Vladimir Lenin, erected by Finsbury Borough Council.

Today

Finsbury is the home of Exmouth Market, the Sadler's Wells Theatre and City University.
