The Piccadilly Line has flat, cross platform interchange to the
Victoria Line at Finsbury Park and both lines are much more frequent
than the First Capital Connect overground via Hornsey.

Actually, the FCC service to Hornsey runs every 10 minutes from Highbury
and Islington (cross-platform with the Victoria Line) or Finsbury Park.
Not as frequent as the tube but better than most overground service
frequencies.

Accepted Colin but the tube is typically three times more frequent than
that and buses from Turnpike Lane or Finsbury Park are very frequent all
the time. The FCC service also does not serve Highbury late evenings or
at weekends which is simply an added complication for visitors to deal
with.

With Oyster pre-pay the tube is also considerably cheaper than FCC from
Hornsey as well.
