About Islington
Islington's history stretches back to medieval times when it was a stopping point on the Great North Road. Georgian developers created the elegant squares and terraces that define the area today, including Canonbury Square and Barnsbury.
The area declined in the Victorian era but underwent dramatic gentrification from the 1960s onwards, transforming from working-class to one of London's most desirable postcodes.
Modern Islington combines Georgian elegance with contemporary culture. Upper Street offers excellent restaurants, bars, and antique shops. The Angel area buzzes with activity while quieter residential streets retain their period charm.
Properties range from grand Georgian townhouses to Victorian terraces and converted warehouses, each requiring specialist renovation approaches.
