Don't feed the rats
It is said that in London you are never more than a few feet from a rat, although the animals are seldom seen by the public. Islington Council is all too aware of the problem, however, and is here imploring people not to feed squirrels and pigeons because it provides food for rats as well. The notice is posted at the beginning of Queen's Walk which crosses Highbury Fields from Highbury Crescent.

The edge of Highbury Fields
There used to be an old stone-covered spring here which in the 15th century supplied water via a series of lead conduits as far as Moorgate. This gave Highbury Fields its earlier name of Conduit Field. In the 19th century, the whole area around what is now Highbury Fields consisted of open fields and dairy pasture. The fields supplied milk to the city and they were also a favourite place for Londoners to visit and taste warm milk straight from the cow. The fields were acquired by the Metropolitan Board of Works from the descendants of John Dawes who was a wealthy stockbroker and lived at Highbury Manor House. They were declared open to the public on 24th December 1885.
