Arsenal fans had some good news last month… the 2020/21 season finished!
After one of the least enjoyable campaigns to be a Gooner in recent memory (certainly for me), fans will be looking forward to starting afresh this summer - with hopefully a signing or two to boot.
The 2020/21 campaign is also the fiftieth anniversary of a happier time for the club, when Arsenal celebrated their first FA Cup/league title domestic double in 1970/71.
To celebrate, we have picked out ten alternative landmarks to visit during the off season so you can enjoy some places free from Kroenke Out banners!
Vicky and I attended the Gillespie Infants School at first but later moved to Holloway where they attended Yerbury Primary School. I went on to Highbury Hill and Vicki to Parliament Hill.
Mary loved Islington and took the kids every weekend to Chapel Market, where she knew everyone. She would also take us to the fair on Hampstead Heath, to ride the donkeys on White stone pond and to feed the deer in Golders hill park.
She loved taking us to sit outside The Holly Bush pub, The Flask, and The Spaniards inn, in particular, to see the birds in the aviary.

Use lockdown easing to transform communities
K Fallon, Islington, full address supplied, writes:
Islington has seen great change during the current pandemic, with offices, shops, restaurants and other businesses forced to close, and many of us working from home.
With more of us spending time locally, now is a great time to consider how our streets can be a resource for all residents, especially those most in need.
On successful city streets, as author Jane Jacobs argued, “people must appear at different times”. More human interaction helps to reduce crime, while mixed-use neighbourhoods also engender trust, since neighbours get to know each other more easily. We already know this human interaction is promoted by reducing motor traffic, as we have seen here in Islington with the St Peter’s People Friendly Streets scheme.
