Hi!

I am new to living in London and am looking to rent in the Finsbury Park area, just off Seven Sisters road. I have mixed feelings about the area, and there is a lot of negative commentary around safety on reddit (some posts quite old however).

Just after some reassurance that im not making a bad decision signing an agreement if im going to hate the area. Walking down Seven Sisters road, it didn't feel like the safest place in London but I have prioritised the rental over a nice/pretty neighbourhood in this case. what is the general sense re safety etc currently?

Will I be safe coming and going via the station when it's dark? for reference I am female, not doing anything too silly such as walking around on my phone headphones in etc

Thanks!
