Nearby Green Lanes is full of restaurants, and is a hot spot for Turkish ones. Selale is the closest from home. I went there many times. I tested some of the other ones as well. Always a nice experience, very lively and the food is fresh and tasty.

French cuisine restaurant in Crouch End, tested and approved !
If you want to treat yourself. From the house take the bus 41 towards Archway and you'll stop before Crouch end. 5/10 min. Otherwise it is a nice 15 minutes walk. Short cut: walk over the Hornsey station footbridge.

An old railway line was converted in a nature reserve. Goes from Finsbury park to Alexandra Palace, through Crouch end. It's perhaps a 1,5 hour walk but you don't have to do it all. An amazing way to discover the area, with great views.
