This website is constant “work in progress”. It aims to provide a community service for local people - informative, campaigning, useful.
We take our name from the Victorian suburb of Brownswood Park, between Highbury, Finsbury Park and Stoke Newington - now Brownswood Ward in Hackney. Our area is at the conjunction of Hackney, Islington and Haringey, and all are welcome. |
