This is my preferred place for takeaway pizza. The atmosphere may not be as good as some of the others, but the food is excellent.

There are dozens of restaurants on Stroud Green Road. I'm putting this one here as you won't see it walking home and it does particularly good food.

Supposedly the best vegetarian indian food in London, although I've actually never seen another vegetarian indian. The food however very good & much better than that I've found in more famous areas like brick lane. I wasn't expecting vegetarian indian to be as good as those with meat, but it surprises. Avoid before chef arrives when it opens and it doesn't currently have an alcohol license, so you can need to bring some with you.

Entertainment & Activities
You can see this by walking to the top of the hill behind the house. Sometimes the music is good. The views of london are also impressive and I've heard the ice rink is a good one.

Not quite as near as the old Arsenal football Stadium, but still easy walking distance. As well as for matches there are guided tours and the external architecture is impressive.

Drinks & Nightlife
I think this is the best pub in London. Sadly so do lots of other people now, so these days it can be full. The huge Ewok Village makes it the best outside drinking establishment in the area. Serves Thai food in the evenings: very good quality, but portion sizes could be bigger.

Sightseeing
When it was originally built it was too wobbly to walk on. Now you can walk across the river and the views are as good as any of the bridges. It offers excellent views of St Paul's cathedral to the north and connects you to the Tate Modern (most of which is free currently).

Parks & Nature
This is the best park in London and offers some of the best views in London. Some of the central london parks may be more manicured, but they are also full of tourists and lack the relaxed feel. You can get there almost entirely avoiding big roads by walking there along the Parkland Walk. Alternatively it is 2 stops away from Crouch hill Station (go to Gospel Oak Station and the heath is behind the lido). There are swimming ponds and it is on the way to Golders Green Coach Station.

This isn't the nicest park in London, but it is a good compromise between being a nice park and not too busy. There is an outdoor gym near the 'american garden' and most of the inner road is pedestrianised, so it is excellent for running & cycling.

This is on what used to be an overground rail line. Trains no longer run and the tracks have been removed, but you will see occasional platforms when you walk along. At one end is highgate (including northern line station) and at the other is finsbury park. Ways onto and off the walk are dotted along the path. Despite starting in Zone2 it feels remote enough as to be out of town. I think the small deer are an urban myth though.

Shopping
I'm not personally a big fan of shopping, but Oxford Street is 5 stops away on the Victoria line (train time about 15 minutes).

Essentials
This store isn't very modern & it can be a bit chaotic, but it tends to have everything at decent prices. There are lots of smarter smaller shops nearby, but they tend to overprice things.
