Islington

Islington has undergone a remarkable transformation over the past two decades, evolving from an under-rated inner-London borough into one of the capital's most desirable addresses.

At its heart, the handsome Georgian streets of Barnsbury, Canonbury and Highbury remain some of London's most beautiful residential addresses, their wide tree-lined avenues characterised by elegant terrace houses with exceptional proportions.

Upper Street provides a relentless succession of independent restaurants, bars and boutiques, while the borough's cultural offer includes the Almeida and Sadler's Wells theatres, Estorick Collection and Chapel Market.
